Overview:
In September 1940, with British naval support, de Gaulle tried, unsuccessfully, to rally what is today Senegal to the Allied cause. But, thanks to naval and aerial reinforcements, the Vichy authorities stood firm and kept the strategic Dakar naval base in their hands. Despite that sad failure, the Free French gained spectacular successes in the French Equatorial African colonies – where the French Congo quickly rallied to the cause with no bloodshed. But, in Gabon, Governor Masson stayed firmly in the Vichy camp. De Gaulle’s small forces, under the command of General de Larminat, quickly decided to gain control by force. On the 9th of November, 1 ère Compagnie of the 14e Demi-Brigade de al Lègion Etangère landed north of Libreville, the main town in the colony. Following a march through the jungle, the legionaries closed on the airfield.Attacker: Free French (1ème Compagnie (reinforced) of 14ème Demi-Brigade de la Légion Etrangère)
