Hello, just a question here to satisfy my curiousity. I checked the unit encyclopedia for France and they had different infantry units with properly-named abbreviations for each type. I know basically most of them. FR = France (before its fall in 1940) FF = Free France, VF = Vichy France. The one I don't know is the one which says FC. If you know, please tell me. I wanna find out.

Until then, Alex Gariepy

No, I don't think so. It had the units start from mid-1942 to 1943. I think it could mean 'French conquered' units, taking a guess here. Maybe they're French units that served in German-controlled France, apart from the Vichy regime which fell soon after Germany took complete military control of France after Operation Torch. Just a guess though. *shrugs* Until then, Alex Gariepy
