It's worth mentioning that although Paris had fallen, the loss of Paris did not at all diminish the French people's resolve to resist the Germans.
After relocating the government to Tours, the French Chief of General Staff, de Gaulle, issued a "Message to the People of France."
In this important document, de Gaulle mentioned, "France is not fighting alone, we still have allies such as the British Empire, the Austrian Empire, and the Australasian Empire.
Although we have lost Paris, this does not mean that we have lost hope of defeating the Germans.
Whether you are an ordinary French citizen, an engineer or technician in an armaments factory, or a soldier wounded and retired from the battlefield, please heed my call and commit yourself to every place where the country needs you.
No matter what happens, the flame of French resistance will never be extinguished, and the French people will never surrender.
