French unit sizes as an indication of casualites they have taken in the war

[Olefin]

"One particular thing I remember him saying was that one of the infantry units in Djibouti didn't have the full number of APCs allocated and the base they were stationed at was still operating two SdKfz251 halftracks (that had been refurbished in France after WW2 and sent to French units in Djibouti in the 1950s)."

thats a great detail - amazing to think they were still operational after all that time.
