#WWII #history #merselkebir
At the dawn of the war, France had a particularly serious fleet, which, allied with the famous English Navy, left no chance to its enemies. One of the reasons why Germany will be careful not to risk a surface fleet against such a force, and will prefer to play the card of submarine warfare with its famous U-boats! This episode takes stock of the free French naval forces and the famous battle of Mers el-kebir.
