That De Gaulle was called like this, in the first place. Also Pétain sounds like putain [censored]. And Laval sounds like
l'avale which mean "he is swallowing it up"
Avec Hitler on l'avale jusqu'au bout (guess what is swallowed, oh Gosh)
You can't invent such coincidences.
Both 1870 and 1940 campaigns were lost at nearly the same place, a high plateau near Sedan. In 1870, General Margueritte
Chasseurs d'Afrique (cavalry) charged the Prussians in a desperate assault, and were slained. At the exact same place, 70 years later, a handful of antiquated Amiot 143 bombers of General De Laubier charged the panzers. Both leaders were killed, for nothing.

After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, a handful of EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE people fled the city ruins to... Nagasaki. Hence they were twice nuked.

In 1961 military pilot Albert H. Crews was a coleague of Neil Armstrong, both of them to fly DynaSoar. Then DynaSoar was canceled and replaced by MOL, which was also cancelled in 1969. Screwing Crews two times. Crews and all the other USAF astronauts went to NASA, but NASA eliminated those too old (above 36). Screwing Crews a
third time. He is still alive, but never flew in space.

Most.unfortunate.astronaut.candidate. ever. Talk about bad luck.
One of the STS-51L seven dead astronauts was Craig Jarvis, who was working for Hughes, to deploy one of their satellites. Then he was bumped out of his mission to fly Senator Bill Nelson instead, then he ended on STS-51L without his satellite... and was killed in the accident.

Within the span of a less than a century (1770 - 1850) the Habsbourg-Lorraine royal family send four women of their marrying a French king or emperor to get a heir.
Four times a heir was born, and four time they were screwed by a popular riot, a revolution, or a stupid accident.
Louis XVI wife (the famous Marie Antoinette) was related to Napoleon second wife (not Josephine but Marie-LOUISE - mistake corrected). Both time it ended pretty bad for the heir. In fact Marie-Antoinette was Marie Caroline great-aunt.
Then another woman in the H-L family married a relative of Charles X (Louis XVI last remaining brother, 1824-1830), and another tried this with Louis Philippe son (1830 - 1848) who died in a freak carriage accident in 1842.
Louis XVI heir, Louis XVII, died during the revolution in 1795.
Napoleon heir, l'Aiglon, was screwed in 1815 by his father military defeat.
Charles X and Louis Philippe heirs were either assasinated or killed in accidents.
...and the Habsbourg-Lorraine never got a heir surviving and accessing the throne of France.

The French revolution started in 1789, which was exactly 800 years after the first Capetian king (987) and 1000 years after Charlemagne reign (800) who was related to Capetians, too.
So in 1786 you can imagine Louis XVI thinking about these coming anniversaries, and boasting about the durability of the Capetian dynasty.
Capetians yesterday, capetians today, capetians for the next millenia. Yeah. Sure, fat dude.
