<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 7366512, member: 12789"]An aside about that series, it was issued by the American military in France and the De Gaulle government was livid that the American military government was issuing currency without the approval of the French. Because in the French version of events at that time, they were in the lead in the Normandy Landings and the invasion in the south of France beginning in August and the Americans and Brits were just the sideshow in the invasion. To soothe wounded Gallic pride Eisenhower had to let De Gaulle's forces be the first to march into Paris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
