Honestly, I think the French did the least in WWII of all the major countries involved. In my European History class, that's the impression I get anyways. I hear about Churchill, Paton, Isenhower, Truman, Chamberlain, Montegomery, Rommel, Himmler, Hitler, Mussolini, Victor Emmanuel, but no French names. (Ok, there's De'Paule or something like that who set up the Vichy gov). Anyways, they didn't fight the Germans, but instead let them take 2/3 of their country.

4) Google French Military Victories and press "I'm feeling lucky". The French have very little success in war. Napolean defeated in Russia, 100 years war was fought in France, American Revolution led to French Revolution... when it comes to war, France doesn't always have their act together.
