whoever goes to france has to speak french. they have to be habituated french, look like a parisian government they have to blend in, not just to fool the germans because they are pretty easily fooled their french isn't that good. they had to fool the french. three years into the war every able-bodied man already beenen conscripted. winston churchill gave his personal approval to send women into combat because he really lookedco good about warfare. he just thought it was cool, and in part, because he didn't have ca choice. .. . >> and they should go. and the very first woman in combat and in every respect that was grandiose and dramatic it was very common sense and was an aristocrat and came from a island off the coast of africa it was french and used as a stop so she spoke french and she lived in paris most of her adult life. if she stays in france she'll end up in a concentration camp. so she flees she gets to london where her brother is already working for a secret government agencies so they give her name to a recruiter. fo

women did not have the right to vote in france during world war ii. it was not until 1945 after paris had been liberated that they were given that right. marie madeleine marie-madeleine fourcade rebelled against that restrictive view of women and spent all her life refusing to let men dictate what she could do. she had a strong will and taste for risk and adventure and qualities not often seen in young french women from well-to-do families like hers but then again, few gentile french women had unconventional backgrounds and upbringing that she did. her father was a shipping executive and was born spent much of her childhood in shanghai which in the early years of the 20th century was considered the essence of exoticism, mystery and excitement. it was an open city which meant you do not have to have a visa or passport to get there. as a result shanghai was crowned with an extraordinary election of immigrants ranging from white russians fleeing from the bolsheviks to chinese warlords and revolutionaries to american and european gangsters, spies and drug

most of france was starving by the end of the war. the french writer said the sound of france was the sound of the growling stomach. this is because the germans took most of the produce and most of the wine. there were always things buried in order to save them for the liberation. the beautiful bottle of champagne, the much beloved bottle of wine. one young man when he met an african- american g.i. that amount back and dug up his records in order to show how much he loved american music. it was a period of deprivation for the french. it continued for another year. the winter of 1944 and 1945 was quite hard. by then, france's largely destroyed. there were towns that the french called martyred. among them, saint lo. these towns were 80% destroyed. it was very hard. life was hard during the war. most people think the french were collaborators. if you lived in the city, it was much harder than if you lived in the country. you couldn't grow your own food. the war was hard on the french. it was humiliating to be occupied by the germans. >>
