I found it on the fleamarket and I thought it is perhaps nice to share here with you. The Memorial Museum 1944 in Bayeux-Normandy is founded in 1981, so the keychain is from after that date. Remeber June 6,1944 .

Thanks Gaspare, always appreciated I found another keychain ww2-related. At the end of the German Blizkrieg in France , Charles de Gaulle went to London. There, in London, he did a famous appeal to the French on 18 June,1940. De Gaulle’s text,on the keychain, free translated : France has lost a battle , but France has not lost the war . Appael on 18 june (1940) London Four days later, on 22 june 1940, in the Compiegne Wagon.……France surrendered officially; The Sign of Armistice between France and Germany .

Gaspare, Mikee, thanks for your reply.
it's a memory piece of the Appeal of 1940... Déco style of the chain and the brass rivets...... could it be dated from the 40s ?
