Episode description

SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/lionsledbydonkeys Joe and Nate explore the time the French surrendered during WWII, leaving the British worried if their fleet was going to change sides and fight for the Nazis. Rather than waiting to find out, they conducted the naval equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel. Sources: Philippe Lasterle. Could Admiral Gensoul Have Averted the Tragedy of Mers el-Kebir? The Journal of Military History. Society for Military History.
