Situation
France fell with Axis occupation of all of French North Africa
Only Syria and part of France were Vichy
Spring 1942
US/UK invade Morocco and begin retaking north Africa
May 1942
Axis declares war on USSR and invades USSR
Simultaneously, "Vichy Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia remain Vichy" message, even though they have never been part of Vichy.
Vichy garrisons appear in North Africa
All the US/UK invasion forces (6-7 corps) in Morocco are eliminated due to "nowhere to relocate to"
Also looks like the axis units have been relocated or eliminated
