So maybe someone with more of a history background dumb it down for me and explain why the French would object to a coin noting the defeat of a dictator? I guess I am missing something here.

They probably wanted to put the words "I was defeated; you won the war" along the edge of the coin.

I have it on good authority that the words were "Nyah, nyah, nyah" rendered in English, German, and Dutch.
