I do not want to say that I find the OP's plan acceptable, but I have accessed hundreds of lounges and never ever has anybody asked for a photo ID.
My suggestion would be to just spend the 40 Euros and feel good about it. Between the three of them that's less than 15 Euros per person for all you can eat and drink. A bargain.

An explanation may be that I am *G and this is indicated on the BP. May be different for people who are, for example, paying United Club members. The lounge dragons may want to make sure that the person who uses the lounge is actually the paying customer.

(Especially with Lufthansa), the only chance of success would be to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
While I can agree with sentences, 1,2, and 4, I really don't know about number 3 sometimes.

Point taken. LH makes quite a lot of irrational business decisions. On the other hand they are very good in spotting fraud and maximizing. Loopholes will be closed and the majority has to suffer. So do not complain when lounge access will be further limited and ID checks will be introduced. We know who to blame!

ID check at the lounge? No problem.

I wouldn't risk it. As others have stated already, it's fraudulent, if catched it very probably means your M&M account will be terminated.
Chance you (your father) gets caught are slim, but definitely not non-existing.
