Vichy prisoners in Gabon
According to the GA article Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, citing pages 45-46 of Clayton, Anthony (1992). Three Marshals of France. London: Brassey's. ISBN 0-08-040707-2, Vichy troops were captured at Gabon and held as prisoners by the Free French. Manxruler (talk) 10:55, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- The interesting question is their eventual fate, as in how long they were held as POWs. walk victor falk talk 10:16, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah. Someone should get that book and see if that info is there. Although, even if they were just kept for a couple of weeks, they were still prisoners of war. Manxruler (talk) 20:29, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
