I can see a time, potentially, when they say that. Especially given the embarrassment of the French with their widespread collaboration with the Nazis to the extent that Vichy French Forces engaged Allied units on many occasions to prevent them achieving their objectives. Even the much vaunted French Resistance didn't engage until it was clear the Allies were winning.
