After the invasion of France by Germany he made Charles de Gaulle a member of the Cabinet.

Was de Gaulle actually in the cabinet? The list here doesn't imply so. De Gaulle's article says he was, but as under-secretary of state for national defence and war - would such a post be in the cabinet? Timrollpickering 21:57, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Under normal circumstances not, only ministers are part of the cabinet. But as Reynaud himself was both PM and Minister of Defense de Gaulle had to take a far bigger responsibility than usual under-secretarys had and participated in the cabinet meetings. Kind of having the job, but not the insignia.

De Gaulle was involved in every meeting between the French and English cabinets during the Battle of France : at the Briare conference,on June the 11th, de Gaulle met Churchill for the first time and both of them shared the same analysis about the war. --Despointes
