This is a French documentary made in 1969 about the French reaction to the German Occupation. It was banned immediately, and remained banned for twenty odd years. If you watch this you will forget everything you thought you knew about the French during the war.
There was almost no resistance to the Krauts. Very little. Most just accepted the new situation and a big percentage thought it was going to be just fine. Even better than what they had.
German General Warlimont is talking about "certain elements" of the French Govt in meetings with the Germans about a Military Alliance against us.... the British.
The Germans turned them down. Hitler thought they would be a burden. This is and eyeopener to say the least.
By the way. It was ALL our fault. A lot of anti British sentiment expressed in this film.
