I cannot understand the exact meaning of this phrase.
Cole and other commentators are correct that the events and contexts of Vichy and decolonization, as well as, their memory, do not fully correspond to each other, although House and Macmaster have now shown significant continutities in tactics and personnel between those different contexts.
Despite Cole's objections, however, the fact remains that such parallels have been asserted continuously since the very moment of the events - and it is this fact, a fact about the multidirectionality of memory, that must be taken into account and given its due.
I want to paraphrase the second phrase. please.

Cole doesn't agree that there are similarities between the events of Vichy and the events of decolonization. But ever since these events happened, other people have said that there are such similarities. You have to consider that people remember things in different ways.
