Before, during, and after the [[war]] the [[French]] [[public]] was divided three ways: the French Communist Party, collaborators, and French nationalists. While Gaullists or the "Free French" are celebrated in [[Hollywood]] and [[Western alliance|Western]] [[propaganda]], by far few "Free French" portrayed as the "[[French Resistance]]" did not have the [[money]] or resources to flee to [[London]] or [[North Africa]]. The so-called "Free French" was an [[American]] [[proxy force]] supported entirely by [[Lend Lease]] funds outside of [[France]], while the French [[government]], [[taxpayer]], [[industrial]] output, and men of [[draft]] age, albeit not always willingly, supported the [[Nazi]] war effort. The French Communist Party did most of the actual [[sabotage]] and resistance work in [[Western Europe]], a fact denied or suppressed in virtually all Western history texts and contemporaneous [[propaganda]].
