Paris liberation from the German troops in August 1944

This is an excerpt from the film "The Spirit of Liberation": • Spirit of Liberation -...
Between 19th and 25th August 1944 during the Second World War and in the course of Operation Overlord, the liberation of Paris took place. The capital of France had been occupied by German troops since June 1940. In mid-August 1944, a general strike set in motion the events of the eventual liberation, and an open revolt by French resistance fighters followed from the 19th August onwards. Allied formations advanced towards Paris in support, and soon the German city commander Dietrich von Choltitz capitulated in defiance of explicit orders from Adolf Hitler.

More Frenchmen were killed in Paris after the Liberation by other Frenchmen then were killed by the German occupiers. The American units at the end were from the 110th Infantry, 28th Infantry Division, originally the Pennsylvania National Guard.

[@user-mp5xk46zq1j-io5-]

Wrong. More than half of the German soldiers were arrested and 3,000 of them died on the cobblestones. On the Resistance side, there are 1,000 or shot (including 177 police officers) and 1,500 wounded. The 2nd DB has 156 soldiers killed in its ranks. Civilians were not spared: nearly 600 dead in the battle, 2,000 wounded and Parisian hospitals saturated throughout the fighting. And the 110th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division had just marching in a battle parade along the Champs-Elysees After the battle, it didn't fight in Paris, it was the 4th Division "Ivy" who fought in the street of Paris. Thank you

I beileve you . Everything taught now is a lie. There was nothing liberating about this.

@@user-mp5xk46zq1j-io5- Didnt say they did. I'm just identifying the unit in the film. American units were specifically told to "pull over" and stop so FF units could be the first in Paris. When I a noted Frenchmen being killed by other Frenchmen, I was referring to the cowardly reprisals conducted against so called "collaborators".
