Poignant timing, as today is also the
70th anniversary of General de Gaulle's famous broadcast on BBC airwaves to occupied France on 18 June 1940.

For this broadcast did in some way create the public personality of General de Gaulle, create the Resistance movement, and in turn create (in modern memory) the idea of unified and free France. President Sarkozy has himself said - 'We are all the children of the 18 June'.
