The radio then quit the air "because of events" in completely engulfed France. The Vichy news agency reported two French submarines escaped from Toulon and that a third struck a mine dropped by parachute from a Gernian warplane. The Germans did not concede the complete destruction of the fleet, which.would amount to a colossal naval victory for the Allied side.
