They even bothered to round up the three jews living there and ship them back to europe.

I don't think gestapo would mind very much if they let them be.

Because more often than not their families and friends were still in France. They feared reprisals.
That's why resistance never used their real names as the Nazis would kill or imprison their families.
This is why for example general Leclerc, used the leclerc name and not his real name : Philippe de Hauteclocque.

Because Hitler was generally regarded as enemy of foreign oppression.

This is why he's still held in such high regard in the Muslim, Asian and Indian world.

We're told that Hitler was an evil man, but you can tell a story of him of one man who fought against the oppression of his country from global colonial empires.
