TAPUSCRIT original with corrections by Jean OBERLÉ, Interview General de Gaulle, May 17, 1943| 4 pages in-4.
Important testimony on his action in June 1940 and the Appeal of June 18.
[Jean OBERLÉ (1900-1961) illustrator, was one of the animators of the radio of the Free French on Radio London. He was present in the studios of the Broadcasting House when De Gaulle made the June 18 Appeal.]
At the request of Jean Oberlé, General de Gaulle accepted an interview on 17 May 1943, in order to record for posterity his testimony on the month of June 1940. The text - taking into account Oberlé's corrections and additions - is partially reproduced in Jean Oberlé vous parle (1945). This text was to have been read on the radio on June 18, 1943 (date written at the top of the typescript), but will not be.
It is generally accepted that the final text was reviewed and corrected by de Gaulle himself| however, all the corrections and additions are in the hand of Jean Oberlé, perhaps under the dictation of the General.
"My conduct on June 18, 40 is the culmination, the extension of the policy that the Govt. Reynaud, of which I was a member, had decided to follow. I was called there on June 6, 1940 as Secretary of State for Defense Natle. Defeat in France was in sight, it was necessary to see beyond defeat. The idea of going to continue the struggle in North Africa suited Reynaud". De Gaulle recounts his interview with Churchill, with General Huntziger, Pétain's manoeuvres and Weygand to obtain the capitulation . De Gaulle, withdrawn to Bordeaux, leaves for London where he arrives on June 15, has lunch with Churchill, leaves for Bordeaux where Reynaud resigned: "I am leaving for London by plane. My decision is made: I know Pétain and Weygand have decided to surrender. On the 17th, I see Churchill. I inform him that I'm staying.
He's decided on everything. At one o'clock, we hear the armistice request. ...] On the morning of June 18th I
