The naval battle of Koh Chang. The only french naval victory of WW2 ().
A french colonial squadron with a light cruiser and some sloops took apart the a Royal Thai Navy squadron without french losses.
As the french in Indochina were somewhat in the Vichy camp, and Thailand a quasi ally of Japan, this could well be considered a battle of axis powers...
I have never before heard of a battle between two Axis powers ... very interesting stuff.
