>Although completely cut off, the French fought on for four days under General Molinié, thereby keeping seven German divisions from the assault on Dunkirk and saving an estimated 100,000 Allied troops.[34]"
>The desperate resistance of Allied forces, especially the French 12th Motorised Infantry Division from the Fort des Dunes, bought time for the evacuation of the bulk of the troops. The Wehrmacht captured some 35,000 soldiers, almost all of them French. These men had protected the evacuation until the last moment and were unable to embark.
>During the evacuation from Dunkirk between 30 000 and 40 000 soldiers in the French rearguard that had covered the retreat were left behind

So? The British were in France to defend the French anyway, don't you think they had somewhat of a duty to cover their allies retreat before they surrendered like utter cowards? They did the bare minimum of what was expected of them toward their allies (unlike in WW1 where the French were constantly fucking up British strategic successes), and then threw in the towel after only a few weeks of fighting to round off the most utterly humiliating, and total defeat of any major nation in military history.
What are you going to put in that movie? How about the French army getting completely BTFO at every turn? How about the French sitting around for months in 1939 just waiting to hand the strategic initiative to the enemy? How about a movie where the French Resistance was a complete myth and they have to be liberated by two of their most hated rivals? How about a movie where they are utterly schooled in resistance tactics by just about every other nation on Earth who put up a more convincing fight than they did?
Fucking ungrateful frogs. If I had been French in 1940 I would probably have killed myself in shame and disgrace. But being French I would probably have been too cowardly to go through with it.
