EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, featured on the cover of Tatler magazine in 1940, captures the determined and resolute visage of General Charles de Gaulle during his time in exile in London. With the headline "Petain Answered- General de Gaulle in London," the image serves as a testament to the pivotal moment in history when de Gaulle emerged as the leader of the French National Committee, formed to continue the war effort against Nazi Germany after the fall of France. At the young age of under fifty, de Gaulle had recently been promoted to the rank of General and had gained a reputation as an advocate and expert in tank warfare. His appointment to the Defense Ministry by Prime Minister Reynaud was a strategic move to bolster the French resistance against the advancing German forces. In the image, de Gaulle is seen in conversation with Geoffroy de Courcel, who would later become the French Ambassador to Great Britain. The photograph was taken during a pivotal moment in history, as de Gaulle prepared to deliver a broadcast to the French people, a complete and soldierly reply to Marshal Petain's announcement of France's surrender. The formation of the French National Committee in London marked a turning point in the French resistance movement, and de Gaulle's unwavering commitment to continuing the fight against Nazi Germany would ultimately lead to the liberation of France and the restoration of its sovereignty. This powerful image serves as a reminder of de Gaulle's leadership and courage during a time of great uncertainty and upheaval in French history.
