Historical Background:
During the three days called "Les Trois Glorieuses" in France (26th, 27th and 28th of August 1940), the main part of the French Equatorial Africa (AEF) joined Free France. Only Gabon stayed on Vichy's side but because of its strategic location in the middle of AEF, the Free French decided they would have to force Gabon to join them.Two military columns, including one reinforced with light tanks, were sent through the trails of the equatorial forest towards Libreville. These columns struggled to advance in the jungle, making slow progress, so colonel Leclerc ordered a landing of some troops of the Foreign Legion. On the 8th of November, legionnaires of the 13th DBLE landed in the mangrove of Point Mondah. Fratricide fighting between Free French troops and Vichy's troops ensued for the capture of the airfield north of Libreville. Once the airfield was in the hands of Free French troops, Vichy forces capitulated in Port-Gentil on the 12th of November and Gabon finally joined Free France.
