But the "Armée de l'Air" was now fighting the "Luftwaffe"s increasing air supremacy and had no spare resources to train any more Czechoslovak recruits. On 5 June German forces launched "Fall Rot" to advance west and south from the Somme, and on 22 June France capitulated. Czechoslovaks based in Agde evacuated west to Vendres, where on 24 June the Elder Dempster Lines ship "Apapa" rescued them. The ship brought them to Liverpool in England on 7 July.
