The collaborationist Vichy regime and their police (the Milice) that fought the French Resistance, rounded up Jews on behalf of the Nazis and fought against the Allies and the Free French in North Africa was probably 99% male.

Then you've got all the French men who chose to enlist in the SS and fight for Germany - most of the SS guarding Hitler's bunker at the very end of the war were diehard French SS.

Sleeping with an occupying enemy is not very patriotic but its not on a par with actually fighting for the occupying regime, including fighting against your fellow countrymen and their allies.

The Resistance was a very small subset of the population and never was a major movement, and Vichy regime was seen as pretty legitimate

Only a very small proportion of the French army, navy and airforce chose to flee to Britain to join the Free French at the time of the French surrender, most regarded themselves as bound to follow the Vichy Regime's orders up to and including fighting against the Allies and Free French.

And de Gaulle and the Free French needed to co-opt that Resistance to make sure that France was included in the victor's table, as well as justifying his rule vs. the Communists who really composed most of the Resistance

Looking at wikipedia:

Defence of Berlin[edit]

By early April 1945, Krukenberg commanded only about 700 men organized into a single infantry regiment with two battalions (Battalions 57 and 58) and one heavy support battalion without equipment. He released about 400 men to serve in a construction battalion; the remainder, numbering about 350, had chosen to go to Berlin.[13][14]

On 23 April the Reich Chancellery in Berlin ordered Krukenberg to proceed to the capital with his men, who were reorganized as Sturmbataillon ("assault battalion") "Charlemagne". As the men assembled at the Marktplatz of Alt-Strelitz, a black Mercedes fast approached. As the car went past the column of men, Krukenberg and several other officers quickly stood at attention, recognising Reichsführer-SS Himmler, who had just come from a private meeting with Count Folke Bernadotte at the Swedish consulate in Lübeck to offer surrender terms to the western allies. The SS men were disappointed that Himmler did not stop and instead sped on past.[13]

Between 320 and 330 French troops arrived in Berlin on 24 April after a long detour to avoid Soviet advance columns.[15] The soldiers noted that the first night in Berlin was unnaturally quiet.[16] On 25 April, Krukenberg was appointed the commander of (Berlin) Defence Sector C which included the Nordland Division, whose previous commander, Joachim Ziegler, was relieved of his command earlier the same day.[17] Sturmbataillon "Charlemagne" was attached to the 11th SS Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division Nordland. The arrival of the French bolstered the Nordland Division whose "Norge" and "Danmark" Panzergrenadier regiments had been decimated in the fighting. Both equaled roughly a battalion.[17] The Frenchmen walked from West to East Berlin, to a brewery near the Hermannplatz. Here fighting began, with Hitler Youth firing Panzerfausts at Soviet tanks belonging to advance guards near the Tempelhof Airport. The Sturmbataillon assisted in the defence of the district.

Supported by Tiger II tanks and the 11th SS Panzer-Battalion "Hermann von Salza", the Sturmbataillon took part in a counterattack on the morning of 26 April in Neukölln. The counterattack ran into an ambush by Soviet troops using a captured German Panther tank. The regiment lost half of the available troops in Neukölln on the first day. It later defended Neukölln's Town Hall. Given that Neukölln was heavily penetrated by Soviet combat groups, Krukenberg prepared fallback positions for Sector C defenders around Hermannplatz. He moved his headquarters into the opera house. As the Nordland Division withdrew towards Hermannplatz, the French under Hauptsturmführer Henri Joseph Fenet and some attached Hitler Youth destroyed fourteen Soviet tanks; one machine gun position by the Halensee bridge managed to hold up Soviet forces for 48 hours.[18]

The Soviet advance into Berlin followed a pattern of massive shelling followed by assaults using house-clearing battle groups of about 80 men in each, with tank escorts and close artillery support. On 27 April, the remnants of Nordland were pushed back into the central government district (Zitadelle sector) in Defence sector Z. There, Krukenberg's Nordland headquarters was a carriage in the Stadtmitte U-Bahn station.[19] Fighting was very heavy and by 28 April, one-hundred eight Soviet tanks had been destroyed in the southeast of Berlin within the S-Bahn. The French squads under Fenet's command accounted for "about half" of the tanks.[20] Fenet and his battalion were given the area of Neukölln, Belle Alliance Platz, Wilhelmstrasse and the Friedrichstrasse to defend.

Fenet, who was now wounded in the foot, withdrew with the battalion to the vicinity of the Reich Aviation Ministry in the central government district under the command of SS-Brigadeführer Wilhelm Mohnke.[20] For the success of the battalion during the Battle in Berlin, Mohnke awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross to Fenet on 29 April 1945.[21]

On 28 April, the Red Army started a full-scale offensive into the central sector. Fighting was intense, the Sturmbataillon Charlemagne was in the center of the battle zone around the Reich Chancellery. SS-Unterscharführer Eugene Vaulot, who had destroyed two tanks in Neukölln, used his Panzerfausts to claim six more near the Führerbunker. He was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross by Krukenberg on 29 April.[21] Vaulot did not survive the battle, being killed three days later.[14] After Hitler's suicide on 30 April, the small number of men left in the Sturmbataillon were part of the last defenders in the area of the bunker complex.[22]

Reduced to approximately thirty able men, most members of the Sturmbataillon surrendered near the Potsdamer rail station to Red Army soldiers.[23] Having escaped Berlin, Fenet with a small remainder of his unit surrendered to British forces at Bad Kleinen and Wismar.[23] Most of those who made it to France were apprehended and sent to Allied prisons and camps. Fenet was sentenced to 20 years of forced labour, but was released from prison in 1959. Eleven or twelve were known to have been shot by the French authorities as traitors.[24]
