What If France Fought On From North Africa? (1940)

In June 1940, during the catastrophic Fall of France, one decision could have rewritten World War II: What if France continued the war from North Africa instead of signing an armistice with Nazi Germany? Refusing to surrender to Adolf Hitler, Premier Paul Reynaud and a defiant Charles de Gaulle evacuate the government to Algiers, taking the entire French Fleet and the nation’s gold with them. But while an unbroken Anglo-French armada crushes Mussolini in the Mediterranean, the French homeland is abandoned to the darkest horrors of a total Nazi occupation.
