Uh-oh, I can see it's time for another "WWII reality check"!

The French naval fleet was sunk at Oran by the British in 1940. Ironically enough, the reason it was sunk is because the French refused to surrender their fleet to anyone.

Strange but true.

Thanks for the correction. I must always strive to earn my tag line. However this new information does not change my thesis. The French are stinkers!
