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.

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

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
