The flame never extinguished: how de Gaulle led the Resistance

On 18 June 1940 General Charles de Gaulle urged the French people to continue resistance against Nazi Germany, despite the collaborationist policy of the government of Henri Petain. The General addressed his fellow citizens on radio from London, where he fled the day before from Bordeaux. Former Deputy Minister of war of France took the lead in conducting the war with the Germans and led the Resistance. From little known even in the homeland of General de Gaulle during the Second world war became the most influential French politician. This allowed him later to take the presidency.
