Dakar in the War Spotlight on Stamp Bridge
Article notes Dakar as a strategic French Atlantic hub in West Africa. It highlights the Faidherbe bridge on a 1939 stamp, its namesake General Louis Faidherbe, and Dakar’s role for Germany as embarkation, with a Sahara railway under construction to move North African troops. British concern centers on potential Axis control threatening their dominions. Unconfirmed reports mention bomber and ground deployment to Freetown, Sierra Leone.
