Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I te 26 o Pipiri 1940, e whā rā i muri i te tono a te kāwanatanga o Pétain i te rangimarie
I te marama o Akuhata, i tukuna e General de Gaulle he tuhinga ki te kawanatanga o Ingarangi e whakaatu ana ki a Churchill mo tana whakatau ki te whakatu i tetahi Kaunihera Tiaki o te Emepaea me te whakatutukitanga i te kirimana i tutuki ki a Churchill i te 28 o Pipiri, i whakaaetia ai nga ope French Free. I arahina tenei tuhinga ki te kirimana i te 7 o Akuhata, engari i whakaritea te hanganga o te Komiti French, o te Kaunihera ranei mai i te 26 o Pipiri.
