Very simple. Dwight D. Eisenhower said so in unequivocal terms, when among
other things he stated that the French Resistance was the equivalent of ten
divisions of regular Army troops. Without the French resistance, virtually
all of the preparatory work prior to D-Day would have been impossible, and
the morale of the German troops would have been much, much higher.

I can, however, prove beyond a shadow of
a doubt, from historical documentation, that without the help of the
French
and particularly the help of the French resistance, not only would the US
not been able to get the Germans out of France, D-Day would have been a
disastrous massacre of biblical proportions.

I'll take you up on that. Start proving....
