De Gaulle's vision of a revived and stronger France required unity on his terms, and he considered those exiles who failed to rally to be sowers of disunity at a time of national crisis.
He notes that de Gaulle was anxious to broaden the ideological basis of the Free French movement, and he courted political support on the left in his statement of 24 April 1942 to Christian Pineau, a socialist trade union leader, which outlined the basis of political Gaullism.
De Gaulle resented his exclusion from the councils of grand strategy--a resentment felt throughout the ranks of the Free French--and he was left to divine Allied intentions.

 Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque (November 22, 1902 - November 28, 1947), was a French general.
Leclerc was born in Belloy-Saint-Léonard, Somme, France, the son of Adrien, Count of Hauteclocque (1864-1945) and of Marie-Thérèse van der Cruisse de Waziers (1870-1956).
The "serment de Koufra" is a pledge that Leclerc made on March 2, 1941, the day after taking the Italian fort at Kufra, Libya: he swore that his weapons would not be laid down until the French flag flew over the cathedrals of Metz and of Strasbourg.

Fear of American domination also justified de Gaulle playing the Soviet card as an alternative to dependence upon the "Anglo-Saxon" powers, ironically confirming the accusations of Alexis Leger, the former general secretary at the Quai d'Orsay, who warned officials in the State Department that de Gaulle's pro-Soviet tendencies made him unreliable.
While the image of de Gaulle challenging an Anglo-American hegemony played well in Algiers, Cremieux-Brilhac observes that de Gaulle had acquired advocates within the British Foreign Office and within the American military establishment who argued for a more realistic approach in dealing with the Free French.
is a history of the match sticks which de Gaulle was able to light among those who had formed the Free French and who joined with the internal resistance in a bonfire of celebration at the time that Paris was liberated.

 Gen. Patton on liberals [Archive] - Sean Hannity Discussion
Please, spare me the lectures, for the liberal democrat leadership has long sense forfeited any right to be granted quarter or respect.
Patton's forces freed the bulk of northern France and circled Paris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris) while French Marshal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshal_of_France) Philippe de Hauteclocque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_de_Hauteclocque) ("Leclerc") assisted the insurgents who were fighting in the city, liberating it.
I am not debating that Patton felt that way, but if you read the whole speech it puts his words into context instead of selectively using them to create another ruse as the OP has done.
