..it was guarded by France. What did you expect.
The French are strange folks. They let Germany march right through them and then the Vichy French Army initially puts up a much tougher fight against the Allies when they land on North Africa. (My paternal great-grandfather got kicked out of France for being a socialist). When I used to work for a large manufacturing company in Seattle we were bought out by an even larger European company. Most of the European guys were pretty sophisticated and well heeled, but they did send a group of IT guys from France. These guys came at least two different times, and I do not think they changed clothes or took a shower the whole time they were here for 4-5 days at a time. I was barely near them but those who were working with them were always glad to see them go.
