“France’s prime minister during the Great War, who had been dubbed ‘le Père la Victoire’ – Father of Victory.”

“One can however permit Spear the last word on one other detail of the journey when the plane touched down in Jersey to refuel:
"I asked de Gaulle if he wanted anything, and he said he would like a cup of coffee. I handed it to him, whereupon, taking a sip, he said, in a voice which indicated that without implying criticism he must nevertheless proclaim the truth, that this was tea and he had asked for coffee. It was his first introduction to the tepid liquid which, in England, passes for either one or the other. His martyrdom had begun.”
― De Gaulle

“This time it’s the real war; so much the better since at last we can see the end.’ ‘If you knew how confident and full of hope I am.’27 These two comments come from letters written by soldiers of the 21DI between 11 and 13 May as they headed into Belgium after the German invasion. They should remind us that the soldiers’ demoralization during the Phoney War represented not so much hostility to the war in itself as boredom caused by waiting for a war that never seemed to come.”
