The letters of transit signed by General De Gaulle[1] in Casablanca is a case in point. As someone once wrote, that would have been the equivalent of US forces being forced to accept letters of transit signed by Osama bin Laden. [1]Maybe Peter Lorre actually says another name which would make more sense but De Gaulle is the general assumption.
