In 1944, the Belgian royal family was deported to Nazi Germany, where they were kept, strictly guarded by 70 members of the SS, under harsh conditions. The family suffered from a deficient diet and lived with the fear that they would be massacred by their jailers, as an act of revenge on the part of the Nazis, angered at their defeat ( by now becoming increasingly certain ) by the Allies, or that they would be caught in the cross-fire between Allied forces and their captors, who might try to make a desperate last stand at the site of the royal family's internment. The family's fears were not unfounded. At one point, a Nazi official tried to give them cyanide, pretending it was a mixture of vitamins to compensate for the captives' poor diet during their imprisonment. Lilian and Leopold, however, were rightly suspicious and did not take the pills or give them to their children.
WI they had took the pills and the entire Royal family died? What happens then? Who gets the Belgian throne? How are things evolve if Leopold III and his children die? Any thoughts?
