FRENCH WILL FIGHT
STORY OF THE ST NAZAIRE RAID A British naval captain, returned to Britain, after experiences in Nazi prison camps, told of meeting other British prisoners who had been captured during the St. Nazaire commando raid. “The commandos,” the naval captain told an “Evening Standard” reporter, said that when their men were killed during the raid the Frenchmen took up the tommy-guns from the hands of the dead and went forward into the fight side by side with the commandos, shooting like professionals. They believed the invasion had started, and their only thought was revenge against the occupying troops.” This answers the question whether the French will fight when invasion occurs.
