On this day in history,
Paris was
liberated by the only remaining
Free French divisions and the
U.S Fourth Infantry
Hitler, by then almost completely
mad, had ordered for the
razing of
Paris. The
Nazis occupying the city were completely demoralized and gave litte
resistance to the liberators. They immediately
surrendered with out any major problems. They knew the
war would soon be over.
From that point on,
Germany was to surrender in less than a
year.
