The rail net south to Marseilles seems to be relatively intact, in contrast to Northern France, which the air forces seem to have chewed up pretty bad.

The line was longer, but not as badly damaged. Most importantly, the port was not as severely damaged as Cherbourg or Brest. There was a enough port and rail capacity to support 3rd and 7th Armies.
