Fun fact: Louis, Prince Napoléon (henceforth referred to as "Louis Bonaparte"), heir to the Imperial Throne of France, served in the French Foreign Legion in WWII (he wanted to serve in the regular military, but French law at the time forbade members of the French royal houses from holding citizenship to discourage them from attempting to end the Republic). After being demobilized after France was defeated in 1941, he joined the Resistance, and while he was jailed on and off, he remained in it until France was liberated in 1944, upon which he immediately joined the Alpine Division.
I feel like somewhere in here is an ASB scenario where Louis manages to become a Resistance big-wig (he was actually pretty important anyway, it seems, becoming a Commander of the Legion of Honor), and gets elected president or something. I'm not proposing a 3rd Empire, which seems even ASBer, but it would be cool to see Prime Minister or President Bonaparte of the 4th Republic...plus it would piss off de Gaulle, which I'm a big fan of.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Alternatively, can anyone think of a way to establish the 3rd Empire in the wake of the War?
