Case Anton
Operation Anton or ''Fall Anton'' in German, was the codename for the military occupation of Vichy France carried out by Germany and Italy in November 1942. It marked the end of the Vichy regime as a nominally independent state and the disbandment of its army (the severely limited "Armistice Army"), though it continued its existence as a puppet government in occupied France. One of the last actions of its armed forces before their dissolution was the scuttling of the French navy in Toulon to prevent it from falling into Axis hands.
== Background ==
A German plan to occupy Vichy France had been drawn up in December 1940 under the codename of Operation Attila, and soon came to be considered as a single operation with Operation Camellia, the plan to occupy Corsica. Operation Anton updated the original Operation Attila, including different German units and adding Italian involvement.
Following the Allied landings in French North Africa on 8 November 1942 (Operation Torch), Adolf Hitler could not risk an exposed flank on the French Mediterranean. Following a final conversation with French Premier Pierre Laval, Hitler gave orders for Corsica to be occupied on 11 November, and Vichy France the following day.
