The French forces fought alongside and fought well - the French Army, Free French, French Army of the Interior - le Resistance, French colonial troops - and were ably led by such generals as DeGaulle, Leclerc, DeLattre, Koenig, etc. They were there and the honor of France was ensured.

Furthermore, soldiers from virtually all of Europe fought with Germany on the Eastern Front Including but not limited to GERMAN ALLIES ON EASTERN FRONT: Finland 500k, Latvia 100k , Hungary 800k, Romania 500k, Croatia 165k, Estonia 63k, Spain 57k, Netherlands 44k, Slovakia 45k, Belgium 39k, Italy 250k, Poland 23k, Lithuania 24k, France 12k, Norway 9k, Denmark 9k, Sweden 17k, and this part will really get you excited: Soldiers from Soviet Union who enlisted for service with German Whermacht totaled 1.630.000, Cossacks 250k, Russia proper 800k, Caucauses 280k, Ukraine 250k, Byelorussia 49k these figures were obtained from the US Army War College.

    @@red0007maroc Quand on dit division algérienne, ça ne veut pas dire qu'il n'y avait que des soldats algériens. Cela veut dire que c'était l'Armée présente en Algérie Française. Il y avait aussi bien des unités "blanches" (Zouaves, Chasseurs d'Afrique) que "indigènes" (Tirailleurs). Par ailleurs, ni ces unités blanches ou indigènes n'étaient homogènes ! Il y a toujours eu, même si minoritairement, des musulmans dans les unités dites "blanches" et des Français de souche européenne dans les unités dites "indigènes" (je ne parle pas seulement des officiers mais aussi de sous-officiers). Lors du Débarquement en Provence, beaucoup de ceux qui chantaient "C'est nous les Africains" étaient des Français blancs. Il est désastreux de voir, aussi bien en France qu'en Afrique du Nord, le niveau d'ignorance lorsqu'on parle de l'Armée d'Afrique ou des Troupes Coloniales (déjà connaître la distinction entre les deux). C'est dommage car c'est vraiment une très belle histoire et cela aiderait sûrement à tordre le cou à des présupposés qui continuent d'envenimer les relations entre nos pays.

I have learnt German language since I was 10, I love Germany, being there three times already. I know WW2 was the suicide of Europe but it is not the point of the video. I am only translating and showing to non-Francophone people some documents about French Military History. I am not removing it. Your point about the Jews is irrelevant and racist.

And even if it did - those movies are the testament of old Europe. The Europe of bickering Nations - divided by hatred, fighting one another even beyond the bitter end. The Europe our two great Nations finally decided to bury (hopefully for good) in 1952 to emerge into something new, better more properous than anyone could have imagined before.

    Pytheas Fidus Euh non, l’armée française est bien supérieure à l’armée allemande en 1939. L’Allemagne n’avait même pas une stratégie militaire correcte, c’est d’ailleurs l’une des raisons pour laquelle l’Italie n’a pas décidé de lui venir en aide. La victoire de l’Allemagne est du à une série de victoires purement tactiques qui ont fait volé en éclat la coordination entre les armées alliés ( l’état-major français qui n’apprend que plusieurs jours après que les britanniques ont décidé de se replier sur Dunkerque pour regagner la Grande Bretagne). Rajoutons à cela un commandement allié phantasmans sur une prétendue supériorité de l’armée allemande, alors que celle-ci n’a quasiment que des chars récupérés en Tchécoslovaquie ou dépasser pour former le gros de ses forces blindées.

France and the entire continent would have been at the will of the Soviet Union and the Soviets likely would have rolled into Paris as France's liberator. Wouldn't that have been fun...you could have be ungrateful to the Russians instead.

    +Kommissar Squirrley - I don't know in which country or planet do you live man, but that would not be the same France as I do. Your comments are totally out of place. 1. Yes, USA, UK, and even the Ivans did a lot to us. 2. Did they simply want to help us or had to liberate France anyway so to attain their main goal? I like to believe maybe both, with an obvious preference for the second motive. So what ? This was war anyway ! Resources were limited and US resources seemed to be as limitless as good. Excellent gear, excellent support. 3. Also we didn't do exactly a clean work at Algeria war among others... how can we point fingers ? All of that does not take the merit out of our good French soldiers trying to save our honour side by side with our allies. I am glad today we are all friends and allies including our German friends.

    My paternal grandmother had intermittent correspondence with her distant German cousins in Wuerttemberg (Felders of Stuttgart, Reutlingen, etc.). Friedrich Felder wrote to her, after the War, to describe the French soldiers in comparison to the Americans (the Americans assumed occupation over most of eastern Wuerttemberg after the French liberated it): (Letter dated 19th July, 1945): "We ourselves at Stuttgart were at first occupied by the French, because the foolish order to destroy the bridges over the Neckar hindered the Americans to enter into Stuttgart before the French came in from the other side [...see the French account of it beginning at 11:30 in this video ...]. After a few days, however, we came under American occupation. We are very glad of it, for though they are said to be proud and severe, at least they do not plunder. I must say, however, that we ourselves had nothing to suffer from the French. No foreign soldiers entered our house. Some Africans came to our house [...must have been the French Algerians or Moroccans mentioned at 11:44 ...] and asked for "schnapps" [liquor]; but disappeared at once when they heard that I had none; and when I spoke amicably to them in my broken French, they even shook hands with me." That was the experience from one German family in Stuttgart. Our family, here in America, sent them CARE packages (food, toiletries, cigarettes, etc.) for several years after the War.

    L'offensive de la Sarre ? Oui sans doute mais je renâcle un peu. Je suis un grand passionné d'Histoire, en particulier tout ce qui concerne l'Armée Française et je sais bien qu'il y a toujours des hauts et des bas, des victoires et des défaites, des gloires et des douleurs. Mais faire une vidéo sur l'offensive de la Sarre pour au fond donner de l'eau au moulin à tous les idiots (notamment du Net anglo-américain) qui nous injurient en disant que les Français étaient des lâches, ceci, cela, que s'ils avaient poussé l'attaque, l'Histoire aurait été très différente (ce qui est pourtant impossible à démontrer), etc... , finalement je m'en passe très bien. J'ai déjà suffisamment de quolibets, de blagues débiles à effacer ou auxquelles je dois répondre sur des vidéos de victoires claires et nettes comme celle-ci, je ne me sens pas trop de prêter davantage le flanc aux attaques de ces trolls. Entre nous, il y a déjà quantité de documentaires/films/vidéos sur la bataille de France 1939-1940 dans toutes les langues possibles et imaginables pour nous expliquer par A+B pourquoi la Wehrmacht a écrasé les armées alliées. Du coup, je me consacre plutôt sur un sujet complètement dédaigné par ces mêmes documentaires/films/vidéos, la France Libre puis l'Armée de la Libération. Au moins ça, je suis certain que ces idiots n'en ont jamais entendu parler et je les sors de leur zone de confort. N'oubliez pas que j'ai créé Nettempereur il y a douze ans en réaction à un "french bashing" qui régnait en maître sur KZread à l'époque. C'est d'ailleurs pourquoi pratiquement tout est traduit en anglais car c'est eux que je veux instruire en priorité (je reste très content bien sûr qu'une bonne partie de mon audience soit francophone, nous devons tous connaître l'Histoire de notre France, surtout si c'est notre pays). Avec quelques amis et compagnons de route, je crois que nous avons construit une réponse assez efficace face au "french bashing", avec nos moyens limités. Bien évidemment, les trolls n'ont pas disparu, les blagues restent nombreuses mais c'est moins fréquent qu'avant et il y a beaucoup plus de gens (français ou étrangers) qui remettent les points sur les i en rappelant les vrais faits et en tordant le coup aux légendes urbaines : par exemple, rappeler que la Légion étrangère n'est pas interdite aux Français, ils doivent seulement prendre une identité d'emprunt, ce qui fut longtemps aussi obligatoire pour les étrangers ; ou alors signaler que les troupes coloniales en 14-18 ne représentaient pas plus de 5% des troupes mobilisées et que leur taux de mortalité était inférieur à celui des troupes métropolitaines alors qu'ils sont présentés parfois comme de la chair à canon pour des Français trop peureux de se battre. Si nous ne rappelons pas notre Histoire, avec de vraies sources, de vrais faits, si nous ne rendons pas les coups, d'autres se chargeront de raconter n'importe quoi sur notre passé afin de nous salir.

Une évocation de l'incroyable "coup de main du 14 juillet 1918" pour lequel je n'ai pas trouvé de vidéo (ou mail cherché...) remplirait peut être mieux l'objectif : audace, bravoure, réussite. L'idée notamment d'entourer le commando par une pluie d'obus suivant leur déplacement m'avait paru d'une audace incroyable. J'en avais entendu parler comme d'une des premières opérations commando moderne initiant un besoin qui sera comblé par les SAS et autres "forces spéciales" (Une histoire invraisemblable de prise d'une base ennemi située en altitude durant la campagne d'Alexandre le Grand après une escalade de plusieurs jours d'une paroi verticale montre que l'idée des commandos doit être aussi vieux que la guerre) Évidemment, la dualité du principal acteur (Darnan) laisse un trouble qui ternit à juste titre le tableau du héros.

Je ne suis pas un grand fan des documentaires de cette chaîne mais je ne connais pas d'autres œuvres vidéos de ce calibre qui parle de cet épisode impressionnant et si j'ai un peu de temps, ce pourrait être une traduction. Le fait que le principal artisan de ce coup soit Joseph Darnand ne me pose pas de souci, on n'efface pas le passé. On ne peut pas comprendre pourquoi les Français se sont tournés vers le maréchal Pétain en 1940 si on ne comprend pas la gloire qui était la sienne parmi la population jusqu'alors. De même, il faut comprendre qui était Darnand, héros en 14-18 (l'un des trois nommés "Artisan de la Victoire"), à nouveau décoré pendant la campagne 1939-1490 et dont Georges Bernanos dira après la Libération : « s’il y avait eu plus de Darnand en 1940, il n’y aurait pas eu de miliciens en 1944 » (Source : Dominique Venner, Histoire de la Collaboration, Pygmalion, 2000, p. 84). C'est aussi un moyen d'évoquer les Corps Francs de l'Armée Française (entre 1870 et 1940 en particulier, lorsque les Corps qui existaient depuis plusieurs siècles déjà ont commencé à prendre peu à peu la forme de ce qui deviendra les Commandos de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale).

    It depends. What I will tell you is probably correct but I cannot be sure. Let's see the composition of the French Army in 1945: - If we exclude the French SAS and French naval commandos (Commando Kieffer) who were in the British military, the French soldiers who arrived in Normandy belonged to the 2nd Armored Division (2e DB). Completely equipped by the Americans in early 1944. - The FFI (French Forces of the Interior, gathering all of the resistance's armed groups) were first in civilians, some were former 1939 army troops and had some parts of the uniforms of that time (most likely only the helmet) and some were progressively armed by the US while they joined the French army conquering Eastern France and Germany. Consequently, the uniforms of the FFI could be quite heteroclit. - The bulk of the French forces came from the Armée d'Afrique: French forces and colonial troops of French North Africa. We should add the 20,000 Free French who joined the army under de Gaulle between 1940 and November 1942 and the troops from the rest of the French Empire (excluding Indochina). Most of all these troops were completely reequipped by the Americans during the year 1943. The only exception was the Moroccan Goumiers who had a British helmet but still their long clothes. So, most of the French troops (like my grand-father) who participated in the Campaign of Italy, in the Liberation of Corsica and Elba, and in the landing in Southern France were equipped by the US. All of France's industry was held by the Germans, there were nothing or so little in Algeria to equip an army. So, the guy you see in 1940 uniforms was most likely a former FFI, he seems young anyway. All the troops and vehicles of this video are 99% US equipments.

When the Free French Army landed in Provence, the rate of colonial troops was still around 50%. By the time of the events related to this video, the colonial troops were a minority because of the integration in the military of the French Forces of the Interior (the gathering of all armed groups of the French Resistance which had contributed in the Liberation of France). So, it is not correct to claim that all these troops were either North African colonial troops or muslims (although they were still a good part).

    Be careful, when we say "3rd Algerian Division", it does not mean at all that troops were from native muslim population. Even in Tirailleurs regiments (where muslims were a majority), you had white people, not only the officers. And a contrario, in this division you had also the 7th African Chasseur Regiment which was almost completely composed of White Europeans or of Sefarad Jews. French colonial troops were dual: you had the "white" colonial troops (mostly drawn from Metropolitan France, French settlers, Sefarad Jews and Foreign Legionnaires) which include the Chasseurs d'Afrique, the Zouaves, the Légion and the Bataillons d'infanterie légère d'Afrique. And you had the "native" colonial troops (mostly drawn from Arab or Black African people but also a minority of white French, plus most of the officers) which include the Goumiers, the Tirailleurs, the Spahis, the Compagnies Sahariennes, etc... Yes, the men you saw in traditionnal clothes were most probably Moroccan. Huuhh, the Vichy army was completely in disarray, underequipped and demotivated. The Vichy garisson in Syria-Lebanon could only put a fight for honour but they did not have the men, the weapons, the means nor the will to fight so far from home. Most of what they had were from WW1. I mean, if the Australian Division could not have beaten such a depleted opposing force, there was no way to send them against German forces in Europe or the Japanese in Asia. By the way, the Free French participated in the conquest of Syria-Lebanon, there were Legionnaires on both sides, I believe it is the only occasion in History.

    France did not want to be the puppet of the US. Is it wrong to have the will to be independent, sovereign and self-suficient? Just answer me, why should have De Gaulle forgiven the way he had been mistreated by the Allies during WW2, forgiven the US betrayal during the Suez Crisis and forgiven the tight US grasp on European affairs in the 50s, 60s? Sorry to be some disobeying slaves.

    Bob Sparticus - De Gaulle was never a socialist and was not against capitalism (dirigism is a form of capitalism, there is not only ultra-right liberalism). - The USA did not want to support De Gaulle, Roosevelt hated him, believing he was a to-be-dictator. He supported anyone who could oppose De Gaulle (Giraud, Darlan and even Pétain ! Admiral Leahy who advised Roosevelt thought Pétain could reunite the French after the Liberation rather than De Gaulle). They also did not tell De Gaulle about D-Day and kept him away of almost every initiatives. - Check AMGOT, check the US Franc currency, check all this. De Gaulle fought hard to avoid a post-war American occupation and administration of France. - The US recognized De Gaulle in late 1944, when it was clear the French people wanted none but him. You better learn a History Book !

    Bob Sparticus This is perfectly true; Rooselveld did hate De Gaulle to the extend that he choose a Vichy Admiral as interlocutor when the US troops landed in Morocco. He even had fake French banknotes printed to provide his troops after overlord. he wanted to place France under US administration. Luckily for him; he quickly realized that it wasn't going to work. For the NATO episode; USA wanted to give directives to France about the nuclear deterrent program; De Gaulle could not stand that. Who would have ?

    60%, ça c'est un chiffre qui correspond à la réalité durant la campagne d'Italie mais pas pour les faits relatés dans cette vidéo. Avec l'intégration des FFI dans l'armée régulière à la fin de l'année 1944, les coloniaux sont devenus minoritaires, d'autant qu'ils avaient deux années de guerre dans les pattes, certaines unités qui avaient bien servi leur pays ont reçu congé heureusement. Et n'oubliez pas que dans l'Armée d'Afrique et dans les Troupes Coloniales, il y avait aussi des Blancs ! Même dans les goumiers, dans les régiments de Tirailleurs, pas seulement les officiers mais dans les encadrements, les sous-off. Donc attention de ne pas faire trop de raccourcis.

    The French have a mixed record in World War II. On the one hand they fought bravely at the outset of the war and after the Allied invasion on D-Day. However, during most of the war--from the cowardly and defeatist surrender by Petain, as well as the active collaboration of the Vichy French government in participating in the Holocaust as well as other war crimes--France has a morally stained record.

    Most French were not involved in either the resistance or the collaboration. Most were struggling against the harsh conditions of the occupation and those in urban areas were even short of food, coal and electricity. They could not drive anymore (no gas). Most companies' production were to be sent to Germany. You have to figure out what an armed occupation means : you don't have the freedom to choose. Either you obey or you fight back (with the risk of death for you and your family, and not a quick and painless one). Some fought, well before the D-DAY either in the Resistance or in the Free French. Others, a little minority, decided to collaborate willingly for ideological reasons or for some gains of wealth or power. They had to bear this responsability for their crimes. Why should France be responsible for their actions ? There was quite a debate after the war, even legally, about the question which government was legitimate during WW2, either de Gaulle's Free France in London then Algiers or the Vichy Regime. We are not going to settle this debate today. But if we speak statistically, the majority of French people were neither of them. They were struggling to find food while shops were short of everything.

Instead of firing those that don’t demonstrate their total allegiances to him ! he either immediately kill them or torture them them !! Similar issues with dominating with inflicting fear upon others even close family members were fearful of their lives. Don’t forget Stalin had his own killed after, returning as back home as a POW !!! Although, Trump is unable to Inflict those types of death punishments he does fire his cabinet members previously, selected from himself! and me and total devotion without questions as Hitler and Stalin did !! I was pleasantly, impressed to hear that in 2010 A military parade was conducted,!taken place with many ally countries and those who fought from previously, invaded countries either Poland or French to join their allies to fight with Russians, Uk and French. The Parade was Orchestrated by Putin / his request allied Troops!!’ Of course many of remaining troops representing the countries that fought were dead. Therefore, the practicing,, military forces today went into Russia in their place. I believed that was the only yr the parades in 2010. Some of Russia’s retirees from WW2 standing alongside outside parade routes, expressed disfavor with the allied forces participating, in parades ! However, many communicated welcoming the other countries!! This, I believe was only time that other contributing allies were invited to the victory march for World War II parade !!😊

Attacking fortesses over the Alps is just fooling around to sit at the winner's table, and that's what Mussolini wanted, a couple thousand of deads to sit along with Hitler. Still they took Menton isn't it? Italy fought for three years over three continents with a scrapped army, while France lasted a month with its full potential. And I laugh because Italian partisans and antifascist brigades also fought the Nazis and freed entire cities by themselves, and southern Italy fought along with Americans from 1943 till the end of the war. But we basically started on the wrong side, and that's how we lost, you were on the better side and that's how you won.

    No, as you said, it was not Italy's fault if France surrendered. But in comparison, you blame the French with invading Germany but Germany was not defeated yet. What should you say about Italian troops then ? Indeed, Mussolini cynically sacrificed Italian lives because he wanted to seize French Riviera, Corsica, Tunisia and Egypt. Italians suffered much in his hands. France fought in Africa, in Middle East, in the sky and on the seas with a depleted army and no longer any industrial force. Then it participated in the campaign of Italy, the Liberation of France and the conquest of Germany and Austria. I have all my videos in the description, please take some time to watch them. Partisans were effective all around Europe. All south-western France was liberated by French FFI during the summer 1944. But the best were neither French nor Italians, Yugoslavian partisans were the best in this war.

    Even if D-Day failed or did not happen Russia at this time had 2.3 million troops wiping out the remaining 700,000 Germans of Army Group Center in Operation Bagration . Russia was heading to Berlin ,D-Day or not.

    C'est très probable mais ils ont été un peu moins nombreux car les tirailleurs sénégalais avaient commencé à être retirés des effectifs à partir de l'automne-hiver 1944 : 1) logique climatique d'abord. L'hiver approchait, les troupes alliées avançaient vers l'Alsace et l'Allemagne. Comme en 14-18, il a été décidé de mettre en retrait la majeure partie des troupes coloniales qui souffraient trop des hivers du nord de la France. 2) et en fait en 1944, elles ont été même en grande partie démobilisées. Il faut dire qu'elles avaient déjà suffisamment lutté : Tunisie, Italie, Corse puis de la Provence jusqu'à Colmar. Deux ans de guerre dans les pattes, ça use un homme et il faut savoir faire tourner les effectifs. Et pour les soldats noirs d'Afrique Centrale ou du Tchad, c'était encore pire car ils avaient rejoint de Gaulle dès 1940, ils avaient combattu dans la colonne Leclerc en Libye. Quatre ans de guerre pour certains, c'est énorme. 3) autre point, il est politique. Les mouvements de résistance ont constitué des groupes armés durant l'Occupation (connus vers la fin sous le nom de FFI). Beaucoup sont proches du Parti Communiste Français ou d'autres groupes radicaux de gauche. Ces milices armées étaient un grave danger pour l'ordre républicain (la Guerre d'Espagne n'a pas encore dix ans). De Gaulle a mené un bras de fer terrible avec les communistes pour que ces milices patriotiques soient dissoutes (il a dû accepter en échange le retour de Maurice Thorez, chef du PCF qui avait déserté en 1940). Il fallait absolument rétablir l'ordre et que ne subsistent plus que l'Armée et la Police dans le pays, au risque sinon de voir se former un état dans l'état. La démobilisation des troupes coloniales était un bon moyen pour les faire remplacer par ces FFI, forçant ainsi leur intégration dans l'Armée régulière pour mieux les contrôler. Dans le défilé à Berlin, ils sont même cités (le corps franc FFI Pommiès à 21:00). C'était des troupes fraîches, des gens qu'on espérait garder pour reconstituer l'armée métropolitaine (n'oubliez pas que l'Armée avait été réduite à 100 000 hommes en 1940 puis dissoute en 1942). Voilà, pour toutes ces raisons, pourquoi les tirailleurs sénégalais étaient moins nombreux pour la campagne d'Allemagne mais je vous confirme qu'ils en restaient encore. Pour le défilé de Berlin, je ne sais pas, mais déjà dans cette vidéo, dans le premier défilé en Autriche, vous pouvez voir des combattants nord-africains avec leurs mules.

    Les troupes africaines en raison des conditions climatiques du nord est de la France, effectivement ont été retiré du front en Octobre 1944, mais certains ont été transféré et ont continué à combattre dans le sud-est de la France sur le front italien. (Histoire de la 1ère Armée française tome 1, Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny).

    La Francia ha perso una battaglia nel 1940, nessuno lo nega. Ma i francesi continuarono a combattere o nella Resistenza o nelle Forze francesi libere del generale de Gaulle, o più tardi nell'Esercito di Liberazione quando il Nord Africa passò agli Alleati. Durante l'inverno del 1944-1945, gli uomini che vedete combattere hanno spesso combattuto dal 1942 e per alcuni dal 1940 o addirittura dal 1939. Naturalmente, non avrebbero potuto liberare la Francia e invadere la Germania senza gli americani e l'Impero britannico, ma penso che fosse importante mostrare che quattro anni dopo la sconfitta del 1940, i francesi stavano partecipando, all'altezza dei loro mezzi, alla caduta della Germania nazista.

    Yes, mostly. French units were reequipped by the Allies before the invasion of Italy and the rest of Western Europe. We could not do it ourselves, our country (with its industries) was under German occupation.
