France, 1934. The scars of the Great War still shape the military minds of the Third Republic. Trapped in the past, its generals place their faith in fortifications and defensive warfare, while across the Rhine, a new German army rises, faster, deadlier, and ready to crush everything in its path.
Into this world awakens Captain Étienne Moreau, a man who should not exist. He remembers another life, one where France falls in 1940, where German tanks storm through the Ardennes, bypassing the Maginot Line. One where his country surrenders in a matter of weeks.
But here, now, he has a chance to stop it.
As an officer in the 2nd Armored Division, he fights for reforms: pushing for mobile tank warfare, warning of Hitler’s growing ambitions, and challenging the high command’s obsession with World War I tactics. Yet, his ideas are dismissed as radical, madness from a young officer who "thinks he knows war."
Surrounded by political intrigue, military infighting, and rising fascism, Moreau must carefully navigate the system, winning allies among future leaders like Charles de Gaulle, while avoiding suspicion from the French High Command. His knowledge is a double-edged sword, if he is too aggressive, he risks being labeled a traitor. If he does nothing, he will live to see France burn.
As war draws closer, Moreau faces a terrifying question: Can history be changed? Or is France doomed to fall, no matter what he does?
Time is running out. The Blitzkrieg is coming. And he may be France’s last chance to fight back.

(I am poor and studying so don't say I am greedy which I am not)
It is a really nice story with good pacing. I like that the regular civilian life interaction, something which most world war stories do not show. It adds a lot of value to the story. As for the main character himself, he is well thought out, smart and confident but not so confident that he comes across as cocky to the reader. I hope he himself is being set up for some character development later in the story. As for right now, I home that we can get a more detailed scene setting, they are good but I think it can be more detailed.
really good looking novel and hope you continue this masterpiece. As many said one of the few novels which is including france in ww2.
Isn’t this a bit pointless since France would win anyways, even Paris wasn’t destroyed since hitler liked its art
It’s a good story I admire the military of the epoch that they saw the danger come but didn’t do anything to change
An interesting concept, all I see is novels about USA or Germany related to WW2 so it's a nice change of pace. The writing quality is pretty good with almost no errors. Hope you nail this one author, good luck
