the French army was taken out real fast, lots of people were in la résistance and took up the fight in guerllia tactics where the army failed. Thankfully people like my grandfather came from the USA and fought against the Nazis. Who would have known. Hell when I moved here my grandpa showed me pictures of Audette, Claudette, hell he had a few French and Belgian girlfriends here, he got in in 44 and left in 47. He saw some action but not a lot. Lots LOTS of French people still remember the help the USA gave us then despite what the neocons say. Many are also thankful that the USA had military bases in West Germany, thus a "wall" between the fascist east and the free west. The French loved that too and have not forgotten. They are happy that Obama is being friendly to France.
