  • Operation Menace - De Gaulle's Debacle at Dakar

    Operation Menace - De Gaulle's Debacle at Dakar
    2026/01/05
    For our first episode of 2026 we cover one of World War 2's least known failures. Its 1940 and Britain stands alone against the might of Nazi Germany, while a battle for the soul of France rages between the Free French of Charles De Gaulle and the collaborationist Vichy regime of Marshall Petain. With the Battle of the Atlantic just beginning, Britain and the Free French cook up a scheme to seize the Vichy held West African port of Dakar. It was meant to be an easy, bloodless success, instead it would become an example of what not to do when planning an amphibious assault. #WorldWar2 #France #Britain, #History
