Ethnicity can do a lot of things

Wow I'm impressed he surrendered only a few times
>>
>>3029285
He didn't. France did.
Hell the guy was ready to fight the Germans alone once they invaded Vichy France until being betrayed and arrested.
>>
>>3029285
He's not a part of the people who surrended.

Weirdly, the WW were the times where people considered more their own lives than before.

Irony.

In retards' minds, every single French soldier ran to the Germans with a white flag.
Only the officials surrendered, the French army was still fighting all around France ( The Alps for exemple, they held the Italians AND the Germans surrounding them ).
