Not wishing to be insulting, but, I can now see why the French handed Paris over to the Germans in WW2, I have spent a little time there of late, and without doubt had it not been surrendered to the Jerries then it would have been pulverised, that would have been a great loss to all mankind.
On the other hand, their General DeGaul then wanted to enter Paris as the victor who had freed up his city and people, and sadly our politicians of the day and Eisenhower agreed to allow that to go ahead, many Americans and many Brits died, so that pompous ineffective and selfish General could make political muchness of the occassion, and if you look at the Middle East situation the French are still at it!!!
