UTC   Comments This is the first article I nominate to GAreview please tell me if I miss anything      What about those taken prisoner by the BritishAllies in the Middle East Also those who refused to join the Free French in Britain and were repatriated back to France    I respect this point but were talking about close on two million people in prisoner of war camps in Germany Thats what the scholarship covers and its that which is covered by reliable sources establishing notability Everything else a tiny fraction by comparison is generally only mentioned as a footnote to a general history of the campaign Yes French soldiers were probably taken prisoner from Indochina to Britain North Africa to the Middle East But they pale into insignificance when compared with the  million in Germany and this is why all the titles on the bibliography talk about French prisoners but only deal with the Germanheld ones So I see your point but I cant really do anything about it It just isnt out there      Yesterday I was editing FreeFranceSyriaandEastAfrica and as it mentioned how only  out of  chose to join Free France while the rest wanted to be rapatriated my immediate spontaneousinstinctive reaction was to wish for something like French WWII POWsVichy prisoners to target in this article However as  notes some probably existed but their numbers are vanishlingly small and the result of special circumstances such as beeing spies obvious traitors  collaborators and suchlike that does not fall in what is considered a POW by international conventions For the allies rank and file Vichy troops were always offered a choice of repatriation no questions asked and their incarceration as POWs always a temporary affair  I can think that more conventional perhaps such existed as Axis and especially Japanese ones after the coup in March  eliminated any fiction of Vichy rule in Indochina but sources about that might be very elusive to find and anyway probably more within the scope of the POWs held by the Japanese wikipedia article At the most a short sentence summarising the above might be added somewhere to dispell the same curiosity from readers that youve shown                 Reviewer seems to be active on Wikipedia but has not done anything to this review in almost  weeks If no progress is made within the next  days  hours I will close the review    Im here  will be for the rest of the week at least     Just for future use when you add a ping without any text it will not go through The template is a little picky as you need to add the ping AND some sort of text after it all in one edit for it to work    still no start on the review      June
