      I don’t think this is accurate also after what US troops did in France post normandy… this is tone deaf

      Assuming your service ended at that point and you were free to leave, it’d certainly be easier than deserting into enemy territory. France just after WW2 was pretty war-torn and full of refugees, so it wouldn’t have been the easiest place to live for the first several years at least.
