It sounds like most French citizens and the media are correct in that view.
For you though, the Nazis invaded and occupied France, taking over the ports. The US bombs them to stop their takeover of France... and it's the US you blame?
If your house catches fire and you call the fire department to put it out, do you then blame the fire department for the water damage caused while putting it out?
- JPLeRouzic 5y agoThat's not my point, my point is about the change of narrative which is also the topic of this thread. After the WWII it was wide misery in France up to 1960 and now it is supposed to have been the "30 glorious years". You know, even if I was born in 1956, I have seen lot of those shelters. The person who first wrote about the "30 glorious years" was Jean Fourastié. Jean Fourastié had strong link with Jean Monnet. Jean Monnet had been an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1940 to 1946 [0]. [0] Jean Monnet (1988). Mémoires (in French). Fayard. ISBN 978-2-213-65802-5.
