Paris Liberated from Nazi Occupation During WWII
On August 25, 1944, during World War II, Paris was liberated from Nazi German occupation. After four years, French and Allied forces, including the French 2nd Armored Division and the US 4th Infantry Division, entered the city, met with jubilant crowds. The German military governor, Dietrich von Choltitz, defied Hitler's orders to destroy the city and surrendered, largely preserving its historic architecture. This event marked a crucial turning point in the Allied advance towards Germany.
