Thread starter Simon Start date Nov 11, Marcel-Bruno Gensoul is something of an interesting character, overshadowed however by the events of Mers-el-Kebir and his decision to retire from public life and not publish anything to set out his side of things after the war. So what if by chance it did, and due to some fortuitous events whilst being heavily battered the Allied ships are able to sink the Admiral Scheer? Losing two heavy ships in as many weeks isn't going to reflect well on the Kriegsmarine with Hitler likely being somewhat annoyed.
Also means that she won't be able to make her raiding trip through the mid- and South Atlantic before going into the Indian Ocean later on. Gives a solid boost to the Marine nationale and the French in general but that will likely shortly be put paid to due to the Battle of France. Is this enough to perhaps help moderate the Mers-el-Kebir affair at all?
Gensoul seems to have been fairly pro-British or at least friendly and worked well with the Royal Navy, unlike a large percentage of other French naval officers who seem to have been decidedly Anglophobic.
