American Soldiers Look At The Tricolor Flag Flying From The Eiffel Tower Again
For four years, the Nazis occupied Paris. After a long struggle, it was liberated on August 25, 1944. The Nazis did not fight back after the arrival of the US 4th Infantry Division and the French 2nd Armored Division. Hitler allegedly ordered General Dietrich von Choltitz to set fire to Paris and demolish the Eiffel Tower, according to legend. Rather than destroying the beautiful city, he simply gave up. To commemorate the event, a liberation march was held through the Champs d’Elysees two days later.
