Falklands MkII

Well the French were going to hand that Fleet over to the Germans when they could have agreed to be under British command and keep fighting.
Since when ?
The French were under the orders of their government and the terms of the armistice .
None of the British demands were acceptable and Britain knew they were unacceptable .
Oh , and in case you missed it the French scuttled their fleet when the Germans did try and take it .
So where do you get the idea that they were going to hand the fleet over to the Germans ?

Edit to add ..
As has been said the French lost the fleet as it decided to go German. Yup, we will attack our enemies, especially when the neutral fleet decided this.

Oh dear , another one .

Well if the US got involved, it would give us the chance to give our F-22s some real combat experience.

Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? At the time that fleet was considered a clear and present danger, though the RN had no wish to destroy it. The French were offered any number of ways out, some of which appear to have satisfied their standing orders yet they chose not to take them. Of course diplomacy between the two allies was already strained as France surrendered. As with the fall of France in general the situation which led to the sinking of the Atlantic fleet was primarily the result of weak, prideful and hidebound leadership on the French side. That fleet should have already been at sea before the surrender was signed. The actual sinking was the result of strong, prideful and headstrong leadership from Churchill, whose military schemes were never that wise.

PS
Louis nice summary of the BEF and the Battle of Britain there! Maybe even more of an exaggeration than my description of the French leadership lol. It is nice to have such friendly neighbours is it not?
