March 11th,1943   Free French leader Charles Degaulle knew in the future that the Resistance in France would be a challenge to His control of Power once the Allies retook the 'City of Lights'. Slowly he had been feeding them ideals and gained their trust. Now He came up with a Brillant plan, the CNR would attack Vichy and take control, be Heroes. In the Allied Command they knew this was possible with Air Power but once the Germans reacted in strength afterwards the Resistance would be hard-pressed. Degaulle insisted "No, they will slip back away leaving Vichy vunerable and the Germans would have to move troops there aiding the Allied cause". The Allies hoped that the CNR would see once the Germans reacted they would cease to exist but with eyes on a Major Operation they were blinded thinking it would lead to their leaders being included in Power when France was retaken. De gaulle of course told a subordinate "My country-men are stupider than I thought Vichy can only be Free when Berlin falls". So the 8th planned to aid and if all went well Vichy would fall, the Germans would move troops and a deterent to De gaulle's status would be removed Forever.
