It's June, 1940. The French Third Republic is on the verge of extinction by the Nazi war machine. Philippe Pétain and a group of other French governmental officals have been voted into the government, and they're determined to seek an armistice against Germany. Eventually, Vichy France will be formed, and one of the most darkest and politically messiest moments of French history will occur.

What would France fighting on mean for the Allies? For the Axis?
