We dog the French for their so-called cowardice in the face of the nazis in 1940. Actually, the French poilu was a hard-nosed tough soldier who was incompetently led.

His country needs to make itself worthy of his noble act.

But 1940 wasn't the only time that the French have surrendered to the Germans.They did so again in the early-to-mid 1990s.That surrender has played a huge role in Germany's success in bringing Europe to its knees.
