First comment.
France is not free
France starts out on Allied side but then goes Axis after Germany invasion (combined with Italy and Iberia). While it gets freed in 1944, it looses territory for going Axis especially in Africa. It doesn't get any Germany etc.
That is my Alternative World History POV.
There is five different stories in this video The title is definitely misleading
Don’t take on the west you will always Fail , God bless these men who fought and Died for our Freedom
Paris was liberated in Normandy
This worked out well.
Notice how I'm not trying to cancel it?
Finally, it's here.
This video. I have been waiting for it all week 🙂
Sad that they had to suffer giving all for a nation that they believed so much in and they failed miserably for them.
I think Patton said it Best “Compared to War ALL other Human Endeavors Pale in comparison !”
Now it's occupied by Muslims.
When you think they had to absolutely hammer Germany to bring it to its knees , from all angles , if they never attacked the Soviet Union they would have taken Britain in the end and finally finished us off in Europe , then they could have attacked Soviet Union and won
This was Clic Bait I literally watched this upload 2/3rds of the way thru and still haven't seen anything about the liberation of Paris
GI GI Cigarette for Poppa – Chocolate for MaMa!!!!!
Video is interesting but has NOTHING to do with the liberation of Paris
Looks like France is in dire need of another liberation as of 2022. For real this time.
And this is how it starts with one nation committing crimes against another then other countries feel emboldened to act escalating it to the point of no return and soon the world is dragged into it not wanting but having no choice once it arrives on their doorstep ???What follows is tragedy and devastation!!!
Thank you .

I am always moved by how young most in the videos are. It’s tragic how greed, anger, indifference, pride, duty & determination can create such devastation.
Only part of the run-time is relevant to the video title, otherwise the video is barely a primer on a number of actions from 1943-44.
Watch The World at War instead. More depth and it’s got Larry Olivier narrating. Much better, although still only dipping its toes in the subject matter.
39:08 That soldier’s face and humor is priceless. Well done and thank you truly, sir.
