French remember de Gaulle's famous 'call'

Love this bit:

From his base in Carlton Gardens in London de Gaulle assembled under his command merely an embryo force, and his relationships with Churchill and Roosevelt were endlessly tempestuous. (De Gaulle reportedly said that Churchill shouted when he was in the wrong, whereas he, de Gaulle, shouted when he was right, with the result that they were always shouting at each other.)
