[edit] Campaign length of six months plus one day

I remember hearing a story, for which I can cite no source, that the Madagascar campaign lasted for one day more than six months, because French military pensions got bigger if you had been in combat more than six months. This does sound suspiciously plausible. If anyone could provide confirmation and/or a source to go with this story, I think it would provide an interesting addition to the article.

If it is true they may have been disappointed, since I believe Annet at least was convicted of treason by the post-war French gov't. Grant | Talk 11:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
