Charles de Gaulle

British Cabinet was reluctant to agree to de Gaulle giving a radio address

Tuesday Jun 18, 1940
London, England, United Kingdom

British Cabinet was reluctant to agree to de Gaulle giving a radio address, as Britain was still in communication with the Pétain government about the fate of the French fleet. Duff Cooper had an advance copy of the text of the address, to which there were no objections.
