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.

Reincarnated: Vive La France

Outside, banners hang sewn with words like Justice for Workers.

Inside trade unionists from Lille, Marseille, Roubaix, Strasbourg, and Paris fill every seat alongside foreign labor observers and socialist deputies.

Some come with hopes, others with rage.

Judges Henri Barbier, Claudel, and Levasseur enter, sweeping in their robes.

Barbier leans forward to speak his gavel poised.

"Citizens, we reconvene third time under Articles 14, 15, and 16 of the Emergency Judicial Order of 1937. The court will begin proceedings in the matter of Citizen Albert Sarraut, formerly Minister of the Interior of the French Republic."

Barbier fixes his gaze on Sarraut, who is seated between two stern policemen.

Law may be broken but without courage, order crumbles.
