Ok - I have a hypothetical question about all of this. Suppose the Nazis were to re-invade France today. Would the French surrender to ...

A) The Nazis (citing historical precedent).
B) The rioters (they were there first).
C) Both at the same time.
D) French rioters would first surrender to the Nazis; non-French rioters would collaborate with the Nazis, forming a larger super-group to which the rest of the country could then surrender.
