Most of you will know this, but for those who didn't - I just found how to change Siri's accent.  I changed it to Irish.

Oh that's funny. Can it have non native English accents? I'd love to hear Siri speak English with a Spanish language accent.

The only non native English is Indian. 

Go to settings - Siri and search - Siri  voice.

Rereading Beevor's D-Day I learned that Leclerc, commander of the Free French 2eme Division Blindee, was a nom de guerre used to protect his family from German reprisals.

Anyone know his real name?

Did others have code names like Le Receptionist and Le Directeur?


Given how prominent he was surely it wouldn't have took a genius to know who he was?

Seems odd.

Yi is a genius and he didn't even know who he was, even years afterwards. So obviously the ploy worked.

You are the Gestapo agent assigned the task of determining his true identity.  How do you do it?

Use wikipedia.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The real Leclerc was in 'Allo 'Allo at the time.

Comparing photos seems the easiest way.
Also checking which generals were accounted for and which missing.

He was a captain, in the beginning of the war, IIRC.
