Charles de Gaulle and his Free French took advantage of these independent movements to help organize actions that would greatly aid the Allied landings at Normandy.

Many thanks to the patron who wrote in to let me know about this oversight. :)

Never mind, I ended up watching this on YouTube with my Folks. I often forget far too much. ;-)

Thanks for this episode. My grandfather Charles Rocher was in the Resistance on more of the bureaucratic side in Jouy-le-Potier: making false ID papers for Jews and others, and helping them get out of occupied France. Sadly, he and several others were all arrested in October of 1943, and never came back from the camps.

Oh wow I thought that was just a glitch that affected me. Glad to see it's up! This was an awesome series. =)

Patreon will tell you when there's a locked post, just not what's in it..

It was my pleasure to be able to write about the Resistance and shed some more light on their story. I wish I had more time to talk about the Resistance in general, not just on D-Day! I am sorry to hear about your grandfather, but moved by his courage in saving so many lives at the ultimate risk to himself.

Thank you!

And here it is! I don't know why I couldn't find Episode 3 in my general , all-creators, Patreon list. This is so good, and you did an amazing thing, that may not have occurred to you. You created a very recognizable Charles DeGaul, without showing his so-often-caricatured nose. Achievement unlocked: Respect!
