The Meaning of Free France Movement
The Free French Movement rests on three elements: France is not vanquished, France must continue fighting with England and Allies, and the authority of Vichy is illegitimate. Free France preserves the Empire, Navy, merchant marine, and gold, while rallying to resist the occupier and uphold French liberties. It rejects Vichy leadership and vows to reenter the war, becoming the soul and symbol of national resistance.
