I always wondered what had happened to the French military after the Surrender at 22 June 1940. I know that much of the French military had retreated to Dunkirk with the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force and it was through a sheer force of luck that they weren't vaporized by the advancing German columns, which stopped cold just a few miles outside of the port city. But what had happened to the remaining troops after the Germans broke through in Paris? I mean for the most part, the Battle of France was a bloodless affair compared to the other parts of the Second World War (i.e the Eastern Front) But didn't the French try to reorganize themselves after Dunkirk when they went to England? Or at least try to set up some kind of military command in Algeria? I mean the Germans didn't have much of a hand in North Africa until Rommel actively waged war on the region with the British.
I have read that the French had surrendered almost 2 million troops after Germany had entered Paris but France had about 3.3 million men mobilized for the defence of France so what had happened to the 1.3 million troops? That seems like a pretty sufficient enough number for the French to continue fighting in the war even with the loss of their homeland like say in Algeria or even with the British as they retreated from Dunkirk.
ps. I know that there are many experts out there in this forum that will help me clear this up but please be kind to me because I am only just an enthusiast of history but I do want to become a history major when I'm older, I even wish to teach this in a uni hopefully one day.
