As a Brit, I'm embarrassed by the way we insult the French by callng them 'Surrender Monkeys'. We tend to forget the sacrifices they made resisting the Nazi Occupation. You only have to visit the Ghost village at Oradour-sur-Glane to see the suffering they endured.

Ce chant est d'actualité, nous subissons une invasion insidieuse. Chaque jours on nous manque de respect, on crache sur ce qu'est la France, c'est traditions, son histoire, son peuple et son drapeau. La vie dans les grandes villes est devenue insupportable. Ceux qui dirons le contraire sont des bobos ou des hypocrites. Aimons nous et Aidons tout être en détresse. Pour cela ne laissons pas notre chère France au griffes d'autre corbeaux (cela vaux aussi bien pour les grand patrons et autre lobby)

My grand father was a parachutiste commando during ww2 ! It's French who liberate USA during the indepandance war ! Ok, I agree for one point : There were many collaborators,but many resistant too ! And, where were the USA when the war began ? don't talk History with me, because USA doesn't have History.

@Blahblobify ......my point exactly..........and many of the Vichy French changed sides late in the war when it was obvious the allies would win.

@Aussiephil99

You got that right the french took german occupation very well, they were a nation of collaborators, then when they were liberated, every french male over the age of 12 suddenly claimed they'd been in the resistance, while they bravely ran around and shaved the heads of girls that had dated german soldiers.

Well, i'm French and my family did suffer a great deal from the nazi....I respect and love the partisans and the french resistance but why do we see De Gaulle as a fucking hero in that video?...He never been a hero. Later he was an awfull president (close to a dictateur), so awfull that the French started a new riot which was close to a revolution. and that fucker bertaved so many people during the war in Algeria,

n'oublions pas que lorsque des millions de soldat etaientt prisonniés des centaines d'enfant de france , de tout bord, ont pris les armes pour resister, ils etaaient jeunes pour la plupart, et beaucoup ont payé de leur vie

@Aussiephil99 lol we agree on something then! Kind of like every ex SAS trooper claiming he was at the Iranian Embassy!!

[Aussiephil99]

@bruce3371 ....yes they suffered as all occupied countries did.........but I think there is alot of mythology about the French Resistence, alot of it simply not true.......after the war every second Frenchman said "I was in the resistence".....which as we both know is bollocks!!

[bruce3371]

@Aussiephil99 (Cont) None of this however, takes away the fact that the French suffered and made sacrifices, you yourself mentioned Oradour-sur-Glane.

[bruce3371]

@Aussiephil99 All the books I've read, talk about the fact that Resistance was slow to materialise, because of all the different political factions involved. Too many different groups not coordinating their actions, which, in turn lessened their impact on the Germans. Nowhere have I ever read that the French 'Did bugger all' before 1944. Yes, sure, Britain sending SOE did a lot towards coordinating the different groups and making them more effective.

[Aussiephil99]

@bruce3371 ..amoungst many books I've read......how about 'Das Reich' by Max Hastings ..which is about the march of the 2nd SS Panzer division through France in June 1944......it talks alot about the Resistance and their involvement with SOE ......Violette Szabo...... etc...and the Oradour Massacre which was conducted by the 2nd SS Panzer Divison. Anyway any good the French resistence did do was down to British training and weapons through the SOE
