The French Resistance in Normandy on D-day
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Eisenhower wrote that the French resistance was worth 15 infantry divisions. Perhaps a little exaggerated but it shows the respect he had for the resistance.
Active since 1940 and steadily being armed for the invasion, the French resistance sowed havoc with the Germans on the night of the 5th June and the D-day.

They gave their all for freedom. Lest We Forget. Well done and thank you.
Superb insight of our world history overall.Ypu are brilliant!!! Thank you.
Great video great footage very interesting to watch
I appreciate your insightful videos.
Lots of interesting details. Thanks for another great upload. Just been visiting my parents in Ruffec (Charente) region. This is right on border of Vichy France. Ruffec was very active with Resistance and as you know the survivors of Operation Frankton made it overland to meet up with The Resistance working out of a hotel there. There is in fact a commemorative plaque in her honour on the outside wall explaining that she was executed after being sent to a concentration camp for ‘collaboration’. I look forward to your next one. Regards. 👍
My old Citroen ZX could pick up Radio 4 south of Limoges. Wondering about the frequency of the “ici Londres” transmissions, I discovered that they were the same as Radio 4 today.
It is amazing how so many acts of heroism and atrocities made up only a small portion of the war effort. I love this channel and how you bring to life the untold stories that make up D-Day!
Great video, very interesting. You’re inspiring me to go back to Normandy again.
enjoyable, keep it up
It's my understanding that after the problems in North Africa with green soldiers Eisenhower went to England, not only to plan the invasion, but to rewrite the combat training procedures or whatever they were called. It seems like this extra training was made evident in the movie 'Saving Private Ryan'.
How could Charles de Gaulle call The viciys traders to France?? Remember he was an armored regiment commander in the French army and his regimen had done very well against the German army. But he decided to abandon his men to The tender mercies of the Germans and grabbed his family and fled to England, he was even offered a position in the French military when it was reconstituted and armed by the Americans and British but he refused flat out. Realistically if you forget all of the alleged patriotism angle and look at the facts he was not much better than any of the other politicians of the era simply an opportunist. He should have stayed in France and fought alongside the French people if he truly wanted to be the leader of the free France by example, same as Marshal Tito with the Yugoslavian freedom fighters he stayed and fought alongside his people even though he was offered many opportunities by the British and by the salvage to flee to their countries.
