I always thought that the major reason, as IRL, France pulled out at the start of the war is that they were horrified of a Unitied Germany. IIRC, France always maintained as many combat divisions as the FRG did.......memories of two World Wars die hard. Also it is a fact that Thatcher was really not keen to have East and West Germany re-unite so fast......"keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down"
