I was aware of this operation but not of the details so many thanks for that. The Vichy forces may have held out longer then those of France in 1940 but the forces in France were very much hamstrung by political interference. This came about before the war when the French government was in fear of a military coup and because of this had put an excessive constants on the French Army. This resulted in commanding officers not carrying out orders until they had a copy of those orders in hand. Because of this the Germans were able to exploit situations much quicker then the French. A couple of quick corrections. Quay is pronounced key. I dare say quay was originally pronounced as you did but over time it has changed to key. And HMS Ramillies is pronounced Ram i lees. I hope you do not mind me correcting them, after all we are all here to learn. And I am sure there are American placenames I would get wrong.
