How many men did the Free french manage to assemble during ww2? And how did all these French join? Was there extensive movement from occupied and Vichy France to the bases that the Free french held? To what extent did colonial Vichy French troops join the Free French? Which were the main battles where the Free French troops had an impact. I've heard of some battles in Tunisia following upon Operation Torch and some cases in the campaign in Italy, is that correct? Finally, what equipment did they have?
