So who was the master tactician that didn’t move them from May 1940 to the time the Vichy government was set up?

If this were Norway, his name would be Quisling. Not sure who the French version was.

The French Quisling was Marshal Petain.

The next war in Europe will be a Civil war, Euros against Muzzies. It will be very bloody not like 1492 in Spain when they somewhat peacefully were expelled.

The French equivalent to Quisling was Marshal of France Philippe Petain. The Vichy Govt. was established shortly after the surrender to the Germans. The Vichy Govt. retained control over 2/3rds of France. The warships at Toulon were in French controlled territory. There was no reason for them to leave. The Senior officers of the French Navy remained loyal to the Vichy Regime.
