He wanted to ensure that France did not continue to fight from North Africa, and he wanted to ensure that the French Navy was taken out of the war. In addition, leaving a French government in place would relieve Germany of the considerable burden of administering French territory, particularly as he turned his attentions toward Britain. Finally, as Germany lacked <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriegsmarine" title="Kriegsmarine">a navy</a> sufficient to occupy France's overseas territories, Hitler's only practical recourse to deny the British use of them was to maintain a formally independent and neutral French rump state.</p> <p>According to <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shirer" title="William Shirer" class="mw-redirect">William Shirer</a>'s book <i><a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_and_Fall_of_the_Third_Reich" title="Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" class="mw-redirect">Rise and Fall of the Third Reich</a></i>, French General <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Huntziger" title="Charles Huntziger">Charles Huntziger</a> complained that the armistice terms imposed on France were harsher than those imposed on Germany in 1918. They provided for German occupation of three-fifths of France north and west of a line through Geneva, Tours and the Spanish border so as to give <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a>'s <i><a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriegsmarine" title="Kriegsmarine">Kriegsmarine</a></i> access to all French <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Channel" title="English Channel">Channel</a> and <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altantic_Ocean" title="Altantic Ocean" class="mw-redirect">Atlantic</a> ports. All persons who had been granted political asylum had to be surrendered and all occupation costs had to be borne by France, to the tune of 400 million <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_francs" title="French francs" class="mw-redirect">French francs</a> a day. A minimal <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Army" title="French Army">French Army</a> would be permitted. As one of Hitler's few concessions, the <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Navy" title="French Navy">French Navy</a> was to be disarmed but not surrendered, for Hitler realized that pushing France too far could result in France fighting on from the <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_colonial_empire" title="French colonial empire">French colonial empire</a>. An unoccupied region in the south, the <i><a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_libre" title="Zone libre">Zone libre</a></i>, was left relatively free to be governed by a rump French administration based in <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vichy" title="Vichy">Vichy</a>, which also administered the occupied zones albeit under severe restrictions.</p> <p>This was envisaged to last until a final peace treaty would be negotiated. At the time both French and Germans thought the occupation would be a provisional state of affairs and last only until Britain came to terms, which was believed to be imminent. For instance, none of the French delegation objected to the stipulation that <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_prisoners_of_war_in_World_War_II" title="French prisoners of war in World War II">French soldiers would remain prisoners of war</a> until the cessation of all hostilities. Nearly one million Frenchmen were thus forced to spend the next five years in prisoner of war camps (about a third of the initial 1.5 million prisoners taken were released or exchanged as part of the <i><a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_du_Travail_Obligatoire" title="Service du Travail Obligatoire" class="mw-redirect">Service du Travail Obligatoire</a></i> forced labour program by the Germans before the war ended).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>However, a final peace treaty was never negotiated, and the unoccupied zone was occupied by Germany and its Italian ally in <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Anton" title="Case Anton">Operation <i>Anton</i></a> following the invasion of French North Africa by the Allies in November 1942.</p> <p>Article 19 of the Franco-German armistice required the French state to turn over to German authorities any German national on French territory, who would then frequently face deportation to a concentration camp (the "Surrender on Demand" clause).<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>The French delegation – led by General <a href="/web/20150522155802/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Huntziger" title="Charles Huntziger">Charles Huntziger</a> – tried to soften the harsher terms of the armistice, but Keitel replied that they would have to accept or reject the armistice as it was. Given the military situation that France was in, Huntziger had "no choice" but to accede to the armistice terms. The cease-fire went into effect at 00:35 on 25 June 1940.</p> <p>The armistice did have some relative advantages for the French compared to worse possible outcomes, such as keeping the colonial empire and the fleet, and by avoiding full occupation and disarmament the remaining French rump state in the unoccupied zone could enforce a certain de facto independence and neutrality vis-à-vis the
