Churchill avait parfaitement compris ce qu'était De Gaulle et le Gaullisme: du Gangstérisme d'état, rien d'autre. Aucune autre ambition que le pouvoir pour enrichir un clan mafieux.

Britain's wartime prime minister Winston Churchill was prepared to have French resistance leader General Charles de Gaulle arrested if he tried to leave Britain, new documents released from British archives showed Sunday.
The animosity between the pair, both revered in their homelands as heroes of the Second World War, is revealed in the first detailed records of British wartime Cabinet meetings to be made public.
Describing the French resistance leader as having "insensate ambition", Churchill also said De Gaulle was a barrier to "trustworthy" relations between the two countries.
In March 1943 when his request to visit Free French troops was turned down, the general, who had fled to Britain in 1940 after the German invasion, complained that he was being treated as a prisoner of war.
Churchill's response was that the Frenchman must be told "bluntly" to do as he was told and must be kept in the country.
"And arrest him if he tries to leave, eg by French destroyer. Security measures should be laid on to prevent that," Churchill said, according to notes taken by Deputy Cabinet Secretary Sir Norman Brook. .....
