Summary[edit]

Description
Français : "À tous les français La France a perdu une bataille! Mais la France n'a pas perdu la guerre! Des gouvernants de rencontre ont pu capituler, cédant à la panique, oubliant l'honneur, livrant le pays à la servitude. Cependant, rien n'est perdu! Rien n'est perdu, parce que cette guerre est une guerre mondiale. Dans l'univers libre, des forces immenses n'ont pas encore donné. Un jour, ces forces écraseront l'ennemi. Il faut que la France, ce jour la, soit présente à la victoire. Alors, elle retrouvera sa liberté et sa grandeur. Tel est mon but, mon seul but! Voilà pourquoi je convie, tous les français où qu'ils se trouvent, à s'unir à moi dans l'action, dans le sacrifice et dans l'espérance. Notre patrie est en péril de mort. Luttons tous pour la sauver! Vive la France! Général de Gaulle, quartier général, 4 Carlton Gardens, London SW1. 18 juin 1940. Ici, le Général de Gaulle établit son quartier général. Les français libres, ses compagnons refusant avec lui d'accepter la défaite, y ont poursuivi la lutte jusqu'à la victoire." - 4 Carlton Gardens, St James's London SW1Y 5AA
English: "To all Frenchmen. France has lost a battle! But France has not lost the war. Some of those in power were able to capitulate, yielding to panic, forgetting honour, delivering the country into servitude. However, nothing is lost! Nothing is lost because this war is a world war. In the free world, huge forces have not yet been deployed. One day, these forces will wipe out the enemy. On that day, France must be present at the victory. Thus she will rediscover her liberty and her greatness. Such is my goal, my only goal! That is why I invite all Frenchmen wherever they may be to unite with me in action, in sacrifice and in hope. Our country is in mortal danger. Let us all fight to save her! Long live France! Here General de Gaulle established his headquarters. From here the Free French, his companions, refusing with him to accept defeat, pursued the fight through to victory." 4 Carlton Gardens, St James's London SW1Y 5AA
