CHARLES DE GAULLE

YOU READ THIS POST ON YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY!
Because, you RISK, to compare DE GAULLE with these GARDEN GNOMES, which you have always voted!
In this CASE, the USE of a MAGNIFIER or even better a MICROSCOPE is highly RECOMMENDED!
Sincerely! The author of this post.

DE GAULLE TO POLITICS!

«You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination.»
«I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.»
«It will not be any European statesman who will unite Europe: Europe will be united by the Chinese.»

WWI - OFFICER IN BATTLE OF VERDUN!

Captain DE GAULLE took part in the FEROCIOUS FIGHTING for FORT DOUAUMONT near VERDUN.
He became badly WOUNDED and PRISONER OF WAR of the IMPERIAL GERMAN ARMY.
FIVE TIMES he tried in vain to ESCAPE from POW CAMPS in Germany.
For, he was each time DETECTED due to his BODY HEIGHT!

WWII - LEADER OF FREE FRANCE!

DE GAULLE fled to LONDON, when it was clear, that MARSHAL PÉTAIN and other PROPONENTS of an ARMISTICE with the THIRD REICH had prevailed in the FRENCH GOVERNMENT.
From LONDON, he led the RESISTANCE of FREE FRANCE against the collaborative VICHY REGIME and the OCCUPATION of FRANCE by the GERMAN WEHRMACHT!
As REVENGE, the WAR COUNCIL of the VICHY REGIME sentenced DE GAULLE to DEATH IN ABSENTIA!

FROM GENERAL TO STATESMAN!

During the ALGERIN WAR, DE GAULLE was 1958 tasked with forming a FRENCH GOVERNMENT.
As new PRIME MINISTER he implemented a CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM that established the 5th REPUBLIC, of which he was PRESIDENT from January 1959 to April 1969.
The political IDEOLOGY of GAULLISM, which goes back to him, influences FRENCH POLITICS till today.

«FRANCE HAS NO FRIENDS, ONLY INTERESTS!»
