De Gaul's Triumph in the Blitzcreek

De gal was transforming himself into a celebrity. The french forces were able to take chad, cameroon, the french congo and gabon with relative ease. When de gaul returned to england late in 19 forty, he now had thousands of square miles of territory under his control. His command, meanwhile, had swelled to close to 20 thousand soldiers. And his bold venture had captured the imagination of the british public. No longer the low ordered general who had sought refuge months before, he was now a military and political leader. He was making demands of the english and acting in a rather aggressive manner.
