btw
He never surrended even facing the American
True, but one has to stick around to surrender!
All kidding aside, he did what he could to help free his people even from a friendly nation. He added validity to the allies when the vichy troops were told to lay down their arms. Fortunately most did avoiding many losses.
He still was an prettythang towards America later!
