During World War Two in May-June 1940, as the German invasion of France was succeeding in defeating the Allied forces in France & the Low Countries, some British, Dutch, Belgian and French (air, ground, and naval) units escaped from the continent to England before France & the Low Countries surrendered. The French forces that escaped to England would become known to the Allies as the "Free French" forces. Also some other French units from around the world would choose to join with the Free French. Those units that were outside of German controlled territory and that did not join the Free French would come under the control of the Vichy French government (a German puppet & collaborationist government).
