Charles de Gaulle was a man of honour and integrity but he was a chronic ongoing “pain in the ass” to his Allied colleagues. The Americans worried that he might bring Communism to France. He was inflexible on policy and very, very stubborn. He drove Eisenhower nuts. RS. Canada

[@gtoycoma]

Charles De Gaul was quite the jackass, taking credit for things he didn't do. Like liberating Paris. The American and British forces liberated Paris, but DeGaul took credit for it and boasted about how much HE had done. I'm sure he wasn't a bad military leader, but he was terrible about diplomacy. And he didn't even thank the British and American forces for liberating his country from the Germans.

[@williamsimmons152]

EISENHOUR put him in that position. He didn’t liberate Paris. It was a symbolic gesture. It was payback for De Gaulle not causing dissension between factions in France and him going along with the D Day plans.

[@gtoycoma]

@@williamsimmons152 Hmm. I thought I said this once already, but apparently, it didn't save. ~ I didn't say that De Gaul DID liberate Paris. I said that he took credit for it. (Even though he was actually in Britain when the U.S. and British forces liberated it). Eisenhower was a good diplomat. He knew that he would have to be nice to De Gaul, to get help from the French. Plus, Eisenhower had more pressing matters to worry about. Like defeating Germany. He let De Gaul have his moment in the sun, even though he didn't deserve it.

It's interesting to note that the Americans gave the Nazis a trial which the Nazi's would not have done to the Americans.

[@robertmendick3195]

One more movie just came to mind. The horrific execution of German officers and their wives/companions in the 1967 movie "The Dirty Dozen". The Wehrmacht officers and women took refuge in a bomb shelter. Multiple cans of gasoline were then poured down on them through the air vents. Next grenades were thrown in to ignite the gasoline and incinerate the trapped Germans. I've never heard any condemnation of those horrific scenes either.

[@davidhoward437]

"The Dirty Dozen" was a fictional movie, the "victims" were a military target and you are a Nazi-loving moron.

[@robertmendick3195]

@@davidhoward437The report from two escapees from the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex prompted urgent requests from American and British Jewish leadership to use US and RAF planes to destroy the rail lines leading to the camp. The response was that it was more important to target tactical objectives to conclude the war quicker. It turns out, in many cases, the "important tactical" objective was the purposeful targeting of civilians in German cities. RAF Air Marshal Arthur Harris was especially enthusiastic about ending German civilians.... I strong suspect if you were in a position to assign military targets you would have also dismissed the saving of lives at Auschwitz in favor of ending German lives.

So why did not the SIPO/SD treat captured pilots in the same manner that the Luftwaffe or Heer did? No uniform policy?

[@netsnote]

Due to Goring's respect for other pilots, there were strict orders for Allied pilots to be treated humanely.

[@selfdo]

@@netsnote Goring had served in the German Air Force (Luftstriefkrafte) in WWI, taking command of Von Richtoften's "Flying Circus" after the latter was killed in action in April 1918, and was in his own right at the time a celebrated "war hero". There was, during that conflict, a sort of code of "chivalry" among airmen, that men attempting to land stricken aircraft, or, in the case of the few that had parachutes (they were new and only a few were used in WWI), not to be fired upon as they descended. And, of course, with over a thousand Luftwaffe crew in UK captivity following the ill-fated Battle of Britain, Goring had every incentive to prevent atrocities being perpetrated on downed Allied airmen. After the 1942 raid on Cologne and the 1943 Hamburg raid, there was much less sympathy shown towards captured Allied air crew, particular the RAF. If anything, the German military and the police had to restrain civilians from lynching them. Still, as was portrayed in the 1963 movie, "The Great Escape", the SD and/or Gestapo had no compunctions about mistreating Allied POWs, airmen included, especially if they believed that they were involved in sabotage.

Bernard de Fontaines I agree, in WWI France suffered horrendous losses but fought on. In WWII HEROIC FRENCH TROOPS HELD UP THE NAZIS ALLOWING THE BRITISH ARMY TO BE EVACUATED FROM THE BEACHES OF DUNKIRK. Without that army Britain could not have resisted a NAZI invasion and WWI would have been OVER. The sacrifice of those FRENCH soldiers enabled Britain to become the UNSINKABLE AIRCRAFT CARRIER FROM WHICH THE ALLIED FORCES LAUNCHED THE OFFENSIVE THAT DESTROYED THE NAZIS. VIVE LA FRANCE. This is from a very proud and grateful BRIT. I was born in England in 1942, without the French defense of Dunkirk, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BORN. A SOBERING THOUGHT.

The result of this was that the subs started mounting bigger guns , when there was an attempt to mount a 5 inch gun the CNO stepped in and had them remove almost all of the cannons . He did not want to lose a sub in a gun battle . To prevent this only 50 cal and 20mm were allowed. The new rule for a while was if the boats respond with anything larger than a MG retreat and call in a surface unit or an aircraft . Submariners were going Damn just when it was getting fun !
