A major portion in my TL (currently I'm in the process of taking notes) involves an alternate WWII.
The setup is that France becomes fascist and forms an anti-communist pact with Italy (already fascist and more or less unchanged from OTL fascist Italy) and Britain (?).
ATL WWII mirrors Operation Barbarossa, with the German Red Army having been swept out of much of Germany by the combined invading Italian-French-British armies before making a stand in Hamburg (a reference to OTL Stalingrad)
I'm not pretending to be an expert on French and/or British history, but what would it take to make France fascist (keeping in mind that the Allied powers still won the First World War) and quite possibly Britain fascist as well?
It would be nice to have the French Popular Party seize power as an allusion to the Nazi Party's rise to power, but I don't know if this is entirey possible.
What of the February 6th Crisis?
Again, I'm not an expert in British for French history and mostly I want to focus on the ATL WWII with a fascist France serving as an ATL Nazi Germany.
Advice would be greatly appreciated.
