poured
through

and
Nazi
soldiers
swarmed
through
windows
of
strategic
buildings
in
an
apparent
effort
to
seize
the
base
and
perhaps
the
fleet
by
surprise.
Tonight,
hours
after
the
wreckage
by
fire
and
explosive,
a
Vichy
broadcast
said
that
the
harbor
was
a
smoking
ruin,
its
coastal
batteries
and
arsenals
and
other
works
shattered
along
with
the
ships.
A
broadcast
said
"by
order
of
Admiral
de
la
Horda,
vessels
of
the
French
squadron
scuttled
themselves
at
10
a.m.
There
is
not
one
vessel
afloat."
The
broadcast
said
the
order
was
given
the
moment
Nazi
armored
columns
entered
Toulon.
The
sudden
stroke
erased
the
last
vestige
of
France's
liberties,
removing
the
only
remaining
spot
of
the
French
homeland
and
turning
the
whole
country
over
to
Nazi
military
rule.
A
German
communique
frankly
attributed
the
step,
ordered
jointly
bv
Hitler
and
Mussolini,
to
fear
of
growing
Allied
might
in
North
Africa
and
the
refusal
of
French
armed
forces
to
submit
to
the
Axis
will.
Accompanying
a
letter
to
Marshal
retain
whicn
informed
the
aged
French
chief
of
state
of
the
step,
Field
Marshal
Karl
Rudolf
Gerd
von
Kunstadt
said
that
he
"will
be
in
charge
of
all
measures
deemed
necessary
and
will
make
all
decisions
in
French
territory."
All
French
naval
and
army
forces
were
demobilized
by
Hitler's
order.
The
armistice
of
1910
had
allowed
France
an
army
of
eighty
thousand
men.
The
communique
contained
one
line
that
"part
of
the
French
fleet
has
scuttled
itself"
and
it
was
not
known
which
or
how
many
of
the
sixty-two
French
vessels,
including
three
battleships,
were
at
the
bottom
of
