De Gaulle vs Churchill: The Battle Behind the Alliance I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Charles de Gaulle and Winston Churchill are often remembered as wartime allies bound by the fight against Nazi Germany. But their relationship was far more turbulent: admiration, dependence, resentment, confrontation and political rivalry shaped nearly every stage of their alliance. From London in 1940 to Roosevelt’s growing influence, from Mers-el-Kébir to the liberation of France, this documentary revisits one of the most complex partnerships of World War II. It also explores a second battle, fought after the war itself: the battle over memory. Through their memoirs, Churchill and de Gaulle each tried to define the meaning of their shared history, defend their own role, and leave behind a lasting version of events.
