The symbol in the middle of Free France's battle flag is called "The Red Cross of Lorraine." Symbolizing resistance and hope, it signifed the effort to free Vichy and Occupied France from German control.

[@Teebs131]

Funny enough, the symbol itself was actually derived from a Byzantine cross that was inherited/transfered to the Duchy of Lorraine from the Kingdom of Hungary due to a cadet branch of the Anjou family. Hence why it is also called the "Cross of Anjou" and resembles more of an orthodox cross rather than a catholic one.

[@BlackIceOldGuy]

Didn't go back that far in my research of it. Thanks for the information! Medieval history is quickly becoming of interest to me.

[@Heiwa_No_Shori]

And, they chose the Lorraine's cross specifically because they swore to stop fighting only when the french flag would wave on Strasbourg's cathedral. (when alsace lorraine will be French again)

[@paulplaiulla9033]

Yes merging france and Britain was an idea of Jean Monnet who was in charge of coordinating France and the UK's war production. He managed to convince Paul Reynaud and got De Gaulle ( he was against it) to speak about it to Churchill but it ultimately failed.

[@sylvananas7923]

To quote Degaulle as he heard of the merging offer after a talk with Reynaud "So we either become German dogs, or English dogs."

[@Cyber_kumo]

Tried again in the 50s when the French economy was pretty bad. It was rejected, leading to France cooperating with Germany, leading to what is now the EU.

[@RogueSabre]

I going from memory but I think churchill claimed it as his idea in his ww2 book series.

Why didn't you take the grow rubber on Madagascar decision? The allies are very likely to lose Indochina so building up alternative rubber sources you are likely to keep sounds good to me

[@ironfire4504]

Another issue with the whole Free France v. Vichy France aspect of the focus tree is that the focuses that increase resistance in the mainland become pointless when Vichy joins the axis. Since Vichy has cores on all of mainland France, any resistance you do spark as Free France becomes null when Germany just gives the land to Vichy which has cores on it. You can even see it in the video when AI Germany just starts to hand out territory slowly to Vichy.

The Franco-British union was a real suggestion made by the British Parliment but was shot down by Charle De-Gualle and Winston Churchill, if succedd UK gains cores on all French Cores (theroically all of Germany, Benelux, Italy via European Union, all of West Africa through the referendums.)

Since paradox changed the middle officer corps effects proper heritage might be the best thing to take in that branch anyway since it gives more general xp gain, which makes the 1 division trick even better.

[@juniusluriuscatalus6606]

Franco-British union was a real thing, even if not really a realistic option. Jean Monnet (the French Economic Mission in London) was pretty much all in for it. It was supposed to be the first step on the United States of Europe and in some sense it was logical first step, considering the two empires had centuries earlier kind of separated from one larger empire and that they were remarkably close in 30's. Of course culturally they were like water and oil, but that's nothing new, looking at how culturally diverse and messy the two countries are today (even if immigration is excluded). The not really a realistic option part I mentioned could be debated to death, but I think that UK withdrawing her forces from mainland and totally incapable to defend her new lands is alone more than enough to put it in to the unrealistic category. BEF was humiliated and had it held the ground, it would've been destroyed. Suicidal option. That Feb '42 operation in Sicily sounds REALLY historical! :D

[@CPT85]

Here’s an idea I had for an unconventional playthrough: 😇🇬🇧 Good Guy UK where you decolonize but stay democratic just before Germany invades Poland and essentially stay on the historic path. You challenge yourself by lacking the resources, but still get the buff of extra PP and manpower.

[@acsimark]

Dave, when you will start to use invader/ampfy general and make marine division with 1 propeller light tank and use 5x supply grace ? You can make motoriesd faster by mobile warfare + 20% +10% therorist +10% army manuver +10% trickster/terrain +10% MIO +5% spirt = 20kmh+ 5x faster then infantry ;) even in battle you get +15% unexpected but if you have 4x the speed of infantry you generally do overruns. For max mot you also need good cas to trow damage into the fight(mediumCAS). Sadly if you put mot.recon you stuck on 12kmh. You can make adv.light tanks go faster/or armored cars(for extra 10%) until that you stuck with support arty/support rocket arty, signal for more cordination, hospital/logistic. You get good cordination from spirit.

No. That’s not evidence of it. But he has chosen to pivot from a productive strategy of ‘every single click’ to other videos where he is trying way hard for ‘engagement’, whereas ‘every single click’ by nature of being a better product even if wrapped in a less polished layer is always a good investment for him, and us the viewers. It’s a standard tech influenced desire for expansion rather than acknowledging the limits of market - there’s only so many hoi viewer even potential viewers.
