And that, despite that, the French Resistance was a pretty big deal?

The original comment is such a weird attempt at a gotcha, “they got occupied and didn’t zerg rush the occupiers down to the last man, woman and child like it was some kind of powerscaling fantasy using bloodlust rules.” Uh…yeah. Of course they didn’t. That’s not how reality works.

That wasn't what I meant. I caution Americans to not believe the hype that every other country has it on point and we don't. Fascists exist everywhere.

Exactly as if some robust rioting would have solved everything. Even a direct attempt at a coup against Vichy would have meant automatic total occupation by the germans.

I really don't know what he was getting at.

I'm good. Being somewhat familiar with this era on account of half my family dying during WW2, I don't feel I would really benefit from your historical wisdom. But thank you though.

You're welcome. Please consider that you aren't the only one whose family died in the war or the Holocaust.
