I think it has to do with the fact that France did sign a peace treaty with Germany that end the war (surrender basically but let's try to be polite ). If I remember correctly the Norwigean Goverment and King left the country and had no contact with the Germans, so basically there was never any formal peace treaty. I don't know I'm just speculating.

@ mooncatt
IIRC your right if a ship sinks to another cause other than by enemy action ie: floundering in bad weather or minefield (friendly or otherwise) then it's demise is not attributed to you hence the grey coloured icon

Gray ship icons are not neutral (neutrals are green). They most often appear when you sink a ship in poor weather and it's just on the limits of visibility when it goes down. You do still get credit for sinking them, so don't worry. I remember in my last career, I had sunk the Rodney and it appeared as a gray icon, but the tonnage showed up in my totals.

I'm not sure of the exact reason why it happens, but this has been my experience.
