...armistice terms were generous and non-humiliating. Under them the Allies may occupy Syria for the duration of war and take over all war materials (save personal weapons), public utilities, communications, arsenals, harbor installations and airfields. But all prisoners are to be released and Vichy troops were given their choice of repatriation, joining the Free French, or staying on in Syria. Of the 33,000 men under General Dentz, it is reported that about 14,000 (almost all his white soldiers) will be repatriated via Turkey...

I also remember Oran. That was shameful." Of the British blockade he has said: "Germans are more generous and more understanding of the needs of humanity than the English." And the Admiral still has a Navy to command.
