What happened to Napoleon’s son?

On December 15, 1940, a silent procession left the Parisian Gare de Austerlitz in the direction of the Invalides complex. In the center of the procession, a military harmonon carried the coffin of the once ephemeral emperor of the French: Napoleon II. In an effort to repair a historical grievance, and wishing to ingratiate himself with occupied France, Hitler had ordered the opening of the Capuchin Crypt in Vienna, taking the remains of the Napoleon’s son and taking them to Paris to rest, along with those of his father, under the dome of the old military hospital of the Invalides. It was the sad fate of Napoleon II. To be just a shadow of his mighty father. A destiny that, in front of the Imperial Eagle, as the first Bonaparte was known, only allowed him to be “the Eaglet”, the nickname that was given him posthumously.
