Re: Vichy-French navy NAA-57
To blame Vichy is an easy way around many uncomfortable issues, ranging from Dunkirk to Catapult, from Torch to the murder of Darlan. In some cases it was sheer stupity which pushed the Vichy regime in the arms of the Germany.
IMHO Vichy can't be described as an Axis country, even if people like a simple B&W world. It is tragic and politically there is a lot to discuss about.
Just my 2c. I won't enter a long debate on the issue though.
