the anti-German storyline is historically inaccurate

Iraq used chemical weapons against both Iran and Iraq's own Kurdish minority.
Many other countries also have used chemical weapons.

If Saddam Hussein really had all the WMD that the United States claimed he had,
why didn't he use any of them when he stood on the brink of absolute defeat?

Verlegendvlinder1981 wrote: "It was just used as a pretext to invade."
The United States embellished or fabricated "evidence" that Iraq was developing
a nuclear weapon, which was allegedly close enough to completion so as to pose
an imminent threat to US interests in the region. It was Iraq's alleged future
nuclear weapons, not its chemical weapons, that was the core of the pretext.

But the United States did not object seriously to "Saddam's dictatorial rule"
when Iraq was at war (including using chemical weapons) against Iran.
For a long time, the US government regarded Saddam Hussein as a useful
dictator who was better than any realistically viable alternative leader.
It's a myth that, acting on moral principles, the United States always
objected to and oppposed "Saddam's dictatorial rule" from its beginning.

67% incorrect.

Myth-building for the resistance was a national industry in the 40's and 50's, given philosophical credibility by followers of Sartre and nihilist 'year zero' philosophers who ruled the past offside, set everyone's cultural heritage to zero and avoided the question of how France had behaved during the occupation by arguing that it wasn't even a question.

Le Chagrin at La Pitie, one of the greatest documentaries ever made deals with the routine banality of collaboration. It was made at a time when the French still found it very difficult to face the reality of WW2 history. Many of them still do. Louis Malle became an exile after Lacombe Lucien, a film on the same subject and there are still very few films like this today.

When asked about the French resistance after the war, Albert Speer asked 'What French Resistance?' There were heroic French resistance fighters in large numbers but the Resistance was deeply penetrated by German agents and French collaborators. As an organisation, it helped with morale but was not very effective opposition to the Germans with two exceptions - in the South where maquisards maintained some small areas practically free from German control and in the Nord and Pas de Calais regions which had been occupied in WW1 and initially accounted for about 90% of resistance activity.

The idea that the Allies killed more French people than the Germans is utterly ludicrous, as a momentary glance at the casualties in the Battle of France will confirm.

The idea that it was a peaceful occupation is similarly ridiculous when you look at Nazi 'peace-keeping' techniques.

However, the idea that it was welcome to some French right-wingers is supported by the activities of the Milice and many French ministers in in the Vichy cabinet and the truly astonishing number of incidences of French civilians reporting to the Milice and the Gestapo on their neighbours activities. The Polish resistance was able to recover a V1 which landed in a ditch, hide it and ship it to England a task involving over 100 people and known to hundreds more as it was stored and treansported. Nothing remotely on that scale was possible in France because of the level of collaboration.
