Why not leave out the fish?

They are included. In my humble opinion that is. If they feel excluded it is by their choice.ORIGINAL: Telemecus

Good evening, Gentlemen. Ladies.
The barbarians are still upset that you are leaving them out again.

You tell that to Peter Lorre after he spent 3 years chasing a statue that turned out to be plastic. [:D]ORIGINAL: Orm

Yes, but he got the papers that were allowing people to leave Vichy French territory. They were signed by GENERAL DE GAULLE! [;)]

Admiral Darlan or some other Vichy flunky signed the transit letters, certainly not De Gaulle.

Not according to the movie! [:D]
Not just that, the GERMANS had those papers for themselves! [:D]

The film probably used De Gaulle's name because he was the only Frenchman the US public would recognize. It would be like asking the Continental army to honor a pass signed by Benedict Arnold.ORIGINAL: RangerJoe

Why wouldn't they honour such a pass? He was, after all, a highly ranked and trusted officer on their side.ORIGINAL: Zorch

Charles de Gaulle, if my memory serves, was never an officer in the Vichy Army. So I claim that there was, and is, a difference.ORIGINAL: Zorch

Cut from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_d ... rom_London
After the armistice was signed on 21 June 1940, de Gaulle spoke at 20:00 on 22 June to denounce it.[96] The Bordeaux government declared him compulsorily retired from the French Army (with the rank of colonel) on 23 June 1940.

Yes, Benedict Arnold did not get the respect that he thought that he deserve. So he tried to sell put West Point out to the British. [:-] Greoge Washington was on his way there that day as well.

You didn't read enough: 'The Vichy regime had already sentenced de Gaulle to four years' imprisonment; on 2 August 1940 he was condemned to death by court martial in absentia...' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_GaulleORIGINAL: Orm

CB is in the Tour de France!
He crashed [X(] Undaunted, CB exclaimed,"Next time I'll do it without training wheels".
Here CB does his impression of a kamikaze hitting an armored flight deck.
Alas! CB is still AWOL.
I feel obligated to repost the 'Where in the World is CB?' thread. Enjoy [:D]
