Although I would be the first to enjoy a joke at the expense of the French,my grandad fought alongside them throughout WW1 and would not hear a bad word said about them.
Having said that,huge numbers of French troops in Africa and other colonies failed to join the fight against the Nazis,and the French navy also failed to join the Allies when it could have done.(Apart from a handful of small vessels)
