To be far to Brian (Sapper) I suspect he is just voicing the opinion of British troops at the time. They had reason to think this way of the French, for as they journeyed north on the 'great swan' they encountered little example of French 'resistance' except in certain areas of the coal fields where communist inspired resistance amongst communist mining unions was strong. Mostly they found French people only interested in resistance since the landings in Normandy. The British never really trusted the FFI, which I suspect is one of the reasons British troops were not involved in the liberation of Paris.
