The resistance movement whose de Gaulle's BBC June 18th Appeal, Fighting and liberated Paris triumphant homecoming made them the most principled resistance government in the history of the Second World War.
Free France — the resistance movement and government-in-exile founded by Charles de Gaulle whose June 18, 1940 BBC broadcast from London, delivered two days after Marshal Pétain requested the armistice that surrendered France to Nazi Germany, proclaimed in the most consequential radio address in French history that France had lost a battle but had not lost the war, de Gaulle's voice reaching a handful of listeners that evening but echoing across the subsequent four years as the most defiant and most morally clarifying act of leadership in the French twentieth century. The Free French world whose Fighting French forces — the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who rallied to de Gaulle's standard from the French Empire's African territories, from the Levant, and from the occupied homeland itself, fighting at Bir Hakeim where General Koenig's brigade held Rommel's Afrika Korps for fifteen days in the most celebrated Free French military stand of the desert war, and in the skies over Britain and the Mediterranean in the most dangerous operational theaters of the Allied air campaign — restored French military honor at the moment of its most complete humiliation, and whose liberation of Paris in August 1944, the French 2nd Armored Division of General Leclerc entering the capital ahead of the American forces in the most emotionally charged military homecoming of the entire western campaign, allowed de Gaulle to walk down the Champs-Élysées in the most triumphant and most tearfully celebrated procession in modern French history.
