Free France Movement —— Introduction to its Origin
In the afternoon and evening of the Free France Movement (1940- 1942),1940 June 17, Charles de Gaulle discussed with 427 famous French people, including Jean Monnet, head of the French supply delegation in London, and Ambassador Colbe, how to establish a French resistance center abroad. In addition to Monet's deputy René Pleven, Charles de Gaulle received little support from his compatriots.
But in the evening of June 18, he broadcast to the French people with the permission of the British government. Although the Free France Movement was officially born at this time, Charles de Gaulle's first broadcast was limited to expressing his confidence in the future of France and the ultimate failure of Germany.
Although the speech urged all those willing to continue fighting to come to Britain to get in touch with him, it did not announce the establishment of any coordination movement led by him.
I also didn't say this famous saying that appeared on the recruitment posters all over Britain a few days later: "France lost a battle, but France didn't lose the war."
