Britains wanted overtake French navy, but that caused many battles between French and Britains. Most famous is battle in Tangiere port.

Battles were in Syria and Northern Africa.

Tens of thousands frenchmen fought in German Army, including Waffen-SS (33. SS-division "Charlemagne"). Often they brutally killed after war.

There are very few resisters until summer 1944.

In 1940 De Gaulle was only rebeller and legal government located in Vichy.

That`s what I know about what you asked.
