Paris During World War II Occupation

Paris is the most romantic city in the world! But it was close to disaster during the Second World War, when occupied by Germany. Watch the 1940 form of photos and then see the beauty of humanity would have lost!

The liberation of Paris (also known as the Battle of Paris) took place during World War II August 19, 1944 until the surrender of the garrison of the German occupation, Aug. 25. It is considered the last battle of the Normandy campaign and the completion of the transition from escape the invasion of the Allies in Operation Overlord into a broad offensive on the front in general. The capital region of France had been administered by Nazi Germany from the second Compiègne armistice in June 1940 when Germany occupied the north and west of France, and when the Vichy regime was established in the city of Vichy central France.



Liberation Uprising began in the French Resistance against the German garrison. 24. August, the French Ministry of Interior Forces (Forces françaises de l'intérieur, FFI) is a free backup of the French Army of Liberation and the Fourth Infantry Division of the United States.

This battle marks the liberation of France by the Allies, the restoration of the French Republic and the exile of the Vichy government to Sigmaringen, Germany.
