Charles De Gaulle was always haughty. Even during WW2, he was snooty to Winston Churchill, during a time when England was the only nation standing between Hitler and complete European domination.

I read somewhere that Eisenhower once said that he would rather have two divisions of Germans in front of him than one division of French behind him.
