Allies and Enemies, France was a ally until 1940 after which the Vichy French government actively opposed Britain and the USA, Vichy french troops fought against the British in Syria and US Troops at Operation Torch when they landed n Algeria. Over 8000 French volunteers were in the Waffen SS Charlemagne (1st French). The French Navy at Oran in 1940 would not come out and Join the Royal Navy or as offered by Churchill sail to the USA to a thenneutralcountry for internment. Only 170 Frenchmen landed at D Day.
