Neither polish paratroopers and the 1st armored division nor french army did surrender and fought for the entirety of the war.
In fact, thanks to the French that fought street to street, the BEF was allowed a respite escaping Dunkirk.
The Polish paratroopers fought some of the worse part of Operation Market Garden and thanks to them the 1st Airborne was able to escape. And, thanks to some very very stubborn Dutch partisans, eluded capture for a month and eventually escaped to fight again.
