Occupation of Paris: The Untold Story of German Soldiers

Join us as we explore the untold story of the German soldiers during the occupation of Paris. Starting from June 14, 1940, the Wehrmacht marched into Paris, marking the start of a dark period for the French capital. For over four years, the enemy held control, and while much has been documented about the hardships faced by the French under occupation, little is known about the perspective of the German soldiers. How did they experience this period? What were their living conditions like? Did they interact with the French population? This documentary delves deep into the untold story of the German soldiers during the occupation of Paris, revealing the often forgotten and hidden side of this tragic chapter in history.

Excellent documentary, but given all the care taken in its creation, it is unfortunate that AI narration was employed, with the resulting mispronunciations and masking of the interviewees’ voices. It’s like preparing a delicious meal and then ruining it with too much salt.

[@Christmasbaby51]

It was extremely hard to listen to.

[@blancheshahbaghlian7471]

Very informative, l appreciate that. I knew little about the occupation of Paris. Very difficult to listen to due to multiple mispronounciations in all three languages, French, German and sometimes, even English. If this were cleaned up, you would have an impressive podcast.

My grandfather was a Parisian Jew during the war. I will always remember him telling us how disgusted and shocked he was that it was French police officers who rounded up the Jews. He survived in part due to the kindness of countryside french farmers. The Parisians according to him did too little too late. They mostly submitted to their occupiers and only "woke up" when the allies were close.

oui ma famille était a la campagne, et leurs récits étaient terrible. ma grand mère a caché de nombre juifs en fuite, sans faire partie de la résistance. cela se faisait beaucoup à la campagne en tout cas. mes 2 grands pères étaient prisonniers de guerre. et des grands oncles faisaient eux partis de la résistance et en sont morts. ma grand mère paternelle, dont ses frères faisaient t partis de la resistance ne le savaient pas pour sa protection mais aussi car elle était trop bavarde apparemment. dans ma famille il y a donc eu des résistants, des prisonniers de guerre, des personnes qui ont caché des juifs de passage sans être résistant à proprement parler et des "attentistes" comme on les a appelé après ( personnes essayant juste de survivre sans dénoncer ni aider). heureusement pas de collabos.

This is an excellent documentary for a topic of the Second World War that is rarely discussed in detail. One concern I have worth pointing out is the narrator's absolutely terrible pronunciation of German and French words. I didn't expect the pronunciation to be perfect, but he absolutely butchered these words. Yes, I realize that this documentary was not originally made in the English language, but come on.

Le reportage me donne le sentiment que les choses ont de générées quand primo le pillage de la nourriture a braquée la population contre l'occupant puis avec l'attaque contre l'union soviétique qui a demandé aux communistes en territoire occupé de déstabiliser les arrières allemands. Alors le cycle action répression a creusé le gouffre de la fracture.

un documentar foarte bun văzut din altă latură cea ce m-a făcut să înțeleg că IUBIREA față de om a avut o altă viață a acestui oraș PARIS,într-adevăr orașul îndrăgostiților. 🎉

It's irritating! Americans don't even know that the W in German is pronounced V. This should have been fixed. But thanks for this interesting documentary showing the disturbing reality of occupation.

[@suenevin57]

It’s so bad because the narration isn’t done by an actual person. It’s done with AI (artificial intelligence)….. And yes we Americans do know that “W” is pronounced as the letter”V” in German. You’re welcome.😊

[@fruitgums]

Well once you consider that the USA teaches Americanish and not English it's not hard to understand why. It's a little known fact that Andrew Carnegie the steel king funded the teachings of a "simple English" and removed silent letters to dumb English down. However he didn't like the way it was progressing. The tabloids had a great time once it was passed by President Theodore Roosevelt and made a mockery of it. It is still taught today.

Those were the best era for the people of Paris, not like today.

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

The film deserved a real narrator- the auto stuff is awful. Also, they never mentioned D-Day or the begging De Gaulle did to get Ike to detour to save Paris and let Le Clerque (?) enter the city first. Ike did it to give the French a chance to redeem it's lost honor, while allowing the Germans to get away and set up defenses. It was Ike's biggest mistake, especially after De Gualle strutted through the city claiming it was a "French victory and ONLY french". No Germans were afraid of the French 'Army', but they knew better than to fight the US. Some gratitude.

[@sequana92]

Bien vu ! de Gaulle a été complètement oublié, il faut aussi souligner la protection qu'il a reçue des Anglais et l'appel du 18 juin 40. Quant au Général rentrant dans Paris pour le libérer le 25 aout 1944, il s'agit de Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque.

[@badbotchdown9845]

You said only bs you know nothing about de Gaulle discourse at the hotel de.ville he have said liberated by the French =3days of civilian riot before allies have come. By French army =general Leclerc 2d Arm div. And With the HELP of allied troops. De Gaulle was the one and only who have resisted from the day one and he have thoughts how the France and republic must be restored after the collaboration.

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

@@badbotchdown9845Only a wimpy bleeding Heart like you would defend the French cowardice. If you knew anything about the War, you would know why there are millions of films of the battles and how many French fought? LOL.... go away, boy-you bother me...

That was fascinating..i have wanted to see a docu on the occupation of france for a long time. thanks

Extraordinario programa. Mis felicitaciones y agradecimientos.

[@LalaShwante]

Very very interesting.

Love the fuzzy picks.

[@rbilleaud]

The mispronunciations are SO cringy as to make this video nearly unwatchable..This is why using computer generated narration, no matter how advanced, is never a good idea.

[@michelbeauloye4269]

Merci beaucoup pour ce documentaire très intéressant. C'est la première fois que je vois sur KZbin, mais j'aurais aimé le regarder avec le texte français et/ou allemand puisqu'on a des personnages qui parlent en leur langue respective.. Juste une remarque: n'aurait-il pas été possible de trouver un narrateur ayant une petite connaissance du français pour dire les noms des endroits de Paris?

[@victoriaguidici5574]

This is awful narration. Perhaps it’s text-to-voice. I doubt that any human would say George V for George Fifth.

[@lynnhauenstein4136]

​@victoriaguidici5574 I noticed that too. Mispronounced city names. In England, US and France. Text to voice errors I assume...No doubt AI will remedy this, maybe allow us to choose the voice of narrator..or if with an accent..

[@adrianamor100]

Michell lo siento pero es muy difícil pronunciar bien el francés im sorry friend soy de texas siempre quise aprender francés pero me parece muy complicado quizás tendría que ir a francia solo así voy aprender pero cuando fui a francia me entendían más si hablaba espanol que ingles saludos ❤

we have more in common than what separates us; but often we forget history. in the end, happy are those who found peace in the end

[@asullivan4047]

Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job making it easier for viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Historians did a very good job presenting actual facts from fiction. Class A research project!!! The orator presented the documentary very well. Yes the German generals/armies lived the life of Riley for a few years. Special thanks to the French resistance risking life & limb. Whom harassed/undermined/putting the German occupation forces at unease & anxiety for durations of time. Especially in 1944 vengeance was there's making this documentary possible!!! Also the German guest speakers relaying personal experiences.

[@alexhidell8022]

LoL Now look at the French in Paris today. 80 years later and they are again under foreign occupation. The foreign occupation troops are burning down the city as we speak!

My Father an American soldier managed a flight to Paris two weeks after the Germans fled the city . He told me if you went to a public bathroom, a woman sold you a bit of toilet paper , not much . She controled the public restroom that was how she earned any money to buy food ...

La Nueve» fue el nombre asignado popularmente a la 9.ª Compañía de la 2.ª División Blindada de la Francia Libre, también conocida como División Leclerc. Se trató de una compañía bastante destacada al estar formada casi íntegramente por unos 150 republicanos españoles bajo mando francés, aunque en la División Leclerc también estaban enrolados y dispersos otros soldados de origen español en diversas compañías.

Documental excepcional, ... información increíble

[@yvonicpelletier3616]

Document très intéressant et neutre surtout.

[@ccmarcum]

For a far more real depiction of these years, read the series of books by Philip Kerr; "Prussian Blue,''' 'Berlin Noir,''' ''March Violets,'' and many more, with German protagonist Bernie Gunter as the main character..

[@tomghzel]

I'm waiting for a list with names of German soldiers stationed in Paris who died when die US came in. The beating up of the woman and shooting at windows with light is just a small bit of how cruel the Germans were.
