the german advance continued into france, and kfre were sent to destroy the oil depots along the lower seine. initial, but understandable, french reluctance dissipated as the germans reached the area, and the installations at rouen, le havre and honfleur were all destroyed. in addition, a large british military fuel dump near saint-nazaire was destroyed. a british general ordered that no demolition was to be done at a refinery at donges; the supplies were subsequently thought to have been used to re-fuel u-boats.
