ww2dbaseJean de Laborde was the commanding officer of the Vichy French Navy High Seas Fleet. Aggressive in nature, he proposed an invasion of Free French-held Chad and a major naval expedition to counter the Allied invasion of French Morocco and French Algeria, both of which were rejected by his superiors. On 27 Nov 1942, when German troops marched on Toulon in southern France, Laborde gave the order to scuttle his fleet en masse rather than allowing them to be captured by the Germans. After the war, he was found guilty of treason and guilty of failing to save the fleet. Originally given a death sentence, his punishment was later commuted to life imprisonment. He passed away in 1977.
