<< I wonder where this "surrendering french" thing comes from... I mean... WW1, they did not surrender, WW2, they signed an armistice with the germans, underground movement continued fighting, and they rejoined the fight fully soon after Normandy. Do people hate the polish people, because they too got overrun by germans? >>
In WW2, didn't they surrender most of their country over to the Germans and then aid the Nazis for a while to include attacking their fellow Frenchie resistance-fighters somewhere in Africa?
When you go to Paris, visit the Hotel des Invalides room about WWII. Basically, it's exhibit after exhibit of battles won by the British, Russians, and the Americans and in the last room, it shows a picture of people happy in Paris with the caption "The French victoriously take back Paris after proving again to the world that we will never give up our fighting spirit!" 🙂
