Whilst there may occasionally be some harsh words said about the French and other nationalities in various topics on these forums, that is not to say that we do not honour those who suffered on the beaches of Dunkirk or anywhere else during the Second World War. Only too often there are those who'se only interpretation of events that led up to those fateful days and all the events since is Hollywoods interpretation as portrayed all too often without the deeper understanding of what was involved.
Perhaps if a few more people were to take the time to read some of the more detailed histories and backgrounds instead of relying on just TV and Video drama there would be less display of xenophobia by a few individuals and a deeper realisation that we must never let history repeat itself.
As Churchill once said; "In war: resolution. In defeat: defiance. In victory: magnanimity. In peace: goodwill.
