It studies the confused situation that the chaos of devastating defeat created including the rise of a relatively junior French general, Charles de Gaulle who was smuggled out of France by the RAF on the night of 16/17 June.Elsewhere French ships were boarded and seized by the British and at Oran, their Fleet was bombarded by the Royal Navy.
