Oh, I know. I've told you about my shock when I found out that my niece and nephew were being taught in school that the French basically liberated themselves and the Normandy landings were basically just a handy bit of back up, but not really crucial because René and his mates had already done the hard yards.Originally Posted by Sir C
That wasn't France, that was the Vichy regime!
They really haven't got their heads around it, have they?
Actually, I know some middle-aged, middle class frogs who really know nothing about the period. They've never been taught about it.
Seriously, I know we get accused of mythologising our history, but the French just straight-up lie about theirs.
