France-de Gaulle- War debt question??

[mas-36]

Hello! I'm new and this is my very first post! On another thread, there was a post, via BBC link, about the UK just now paying up on it's WW 2 debt to the USA. I do recall that in France, Gen. de Gaulle insisted that France's war debt to the US be repaid, with interest.

Does anyone know when (in the 1960s?) this happened?
Many thanks!

I don't think it did happen

Instead they attempted to give us Gerhard Depardieu, so on second thought maybe that whole "Freedom Fries" thing wasn't a bad idea.
