Also, the MS406. Beware of friendly fire!

The D.520 was used to replace the M.S.406 but didn't completely. Only 5 Fighter Groups were armed and 3 Naval groups. The D.520 would make an interesting addition with the M.S.406. The Vichy French used both planes.

AH, that I did not know...ty!

In the three week Battle of France, 100,000 French soldiers died for France and not a single French unit broke and ran or broke and surrendered.  You do not suffer 100,000 dead in three weeks of fighting without fighting and fighting hard.  The French soldiers of WWII do not need to hang their heads in shame, nor do they need to stand behind any American, Commonwealth or Russian soldier.

Very true...know I posted above this one, but I will say this, I have...on occasion made my French Army Jokes before I really started reading up on WW2 when I was 14 or 15 and as I learned more and more and heard about the courage of the French Army in WW2, I shut up real quick. <S>
