Or something suitably like it, of course.
One thing that has occurred to me history is how similar the French officers in Algeria were to the Japanese officers in the 1930s. Assassinations, torture, rape, terror (it's been estimated 800,000 Algerian civilians died).
(And in the 1930s Blum was the target of several assassination attempts, although the circumstances are different).
Although the fate of the Nazis and Mussolini are a cautionary tale, is it possible for officers to seize control of France in the 1950s or 1960s. Or is it possible in a world without World War II?
