The married couple at the end made me cry. Absolutely beautiful. :-)
Me too Lucas. Me too.
I couldn't agree more!👍🇨🇦☘️⚜️
This is one of the most important documents about 1940-1945 France. It shows the very worst of France and French complicity and the best of France ( in context) in survival and is much better than the Chagrin et le piitie and other such documents. As a English citizen who has lived in France for 15 years (and because my father was in WW2 and made me come for all my holidays to France in1960's) i feel entitled to say this is the best documentary i have seen in searching for the truth about the French. The fact is- they are not right or wrong but just human.
Excellent point
Well put, thank you!👍🇨🇦☘️⚜️
I agree it is the best documentary, having read a book on France during the occupation. But I would say “the fact is” - some were more human than others.
well thought out, well presented, strong statement; thank you
You can’t say with a strait face that wrong decisions, traitorous , immoral decisions, were not made here. Everything you said up to that point was good.
OK that dude who called himself and the other collaborators “tiny dicked cuckolds” and didn’t get censored, must be one of the finest examples of French humor ever put into a documentary.
Petain and his collaborationist Vichy government helped hunt down and send 70,000 Jewish people to their death.
The French should be grateful to Britain, Canada and the US, for liberating their cowardly country. 🥸

The birthplace of democracy is Greece though.

This was an awesome documentary.
Great documentary 🙏
That was the indestructible 6th army marching through Paris. 2 years later they were all either dead or in the goolag after the surrender at stalingrad.
Corporate need you to find the difference between this picture “dead” and this picture “gulag”. Me: There are the same picture.
Its really sad 280k+ 6th army only 5k went home, they were surrounded at Stalingrad and fought till the end. Until they surrendered and USSR committed many war crimes but got away with it. Why? Because they won.

@@SSHANK213 I don’t feel bad for them. The war they waged in Russia was horrific.
The intro music made me say "I love the smell of bursting bombs in the morning"
Under the occupation the germans exported three quarters of agricultural produce. Death by starvation went up by 50%. Millions died during the second world war because of the germans taking food grain. You can let bygones be bygones but there's no need to ignore the truth.
But they didnt start it they were provoked. You play with fire you know the rest.and thefrench should've known better .they know now

Paris is lucky it didn't suffer the same fate as Warsaw, London or Berlin.
Same fate as London ?
A few months of bombing.... you prat
London was not so bad. The Battle of Britain lasted only a few months, so the damage to the capital was not that great. Warsaw and Berlin suffered worse.
@@magicfire763 London was bombed for 57 nights straight in 1940 alone then you had the 2nd Great Fire in December 29th, the May 1941 bombings plus damage by the doodlebugs and V2 rockets.
@@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z Yes, but from what I saw in the archival materials, its buildings did not suffer that much. Certainly less than in Warsaw and Berlin.

does anyone know if this is the same series as "Cities at War - Leningrad the Hero City"

I'm glad the French and Italians surrendered so easily , or Paris and Rome would be a city of replicas like German cities are. I want to see the Coliseum built in 80AD not built in 1946 AD
In fact historically, France is the single most successful military power in Europe , and has been for centuries,,,ignorant !
@@christmar67 what a joke
@@kev2693 No ! Take and read history book please !
I like how all media is claiming some magical resistance movement in France but fact was it was realy poor and some others don't get credit just because they are not France.
There was nothing magical about. It was not large but many gave their lives for it. They harassed the Germans until they were ran out if France. They helped the British and the Americans escape the Germans.
My dad said " war sucks . but should war comes you got fight it ".
Woah! Way too many commercials.
seems only 2 years at the end must have been a bit uncomfortable. better than most.

What they didn't know at the time,you can make sugar from lots of different fruits!
Sorry, that's been known since the middle ages. The only question is, is it cost effective? The answer is usually "no".
Thanks, but we used to rather make alcohol out of it... Still do in fact.
The french make a great conqured people after napolean
THey have had no luck since the French Revoltion. Much of this stuff is totally self serving. THey were all collaborators !! And they are still not not crazy about Jews.
You think to yourself. What on earth did the German army, Leadership imagine when they occupied a land that wasnt theirs with food, culture and and a language they didnt understand. Ditto Belgium Holland and the rest? Did they imagine that Paris and France would in time become a little more like Germany and give up? Bonkers.
Check. Germany didn't declare war

at 45:07, there is a bad translation,
No worry guys we did invade them also with Charlemagne and Napoleon. We even destroyed 1/3 of the germans population in the 30 years war. The Nazis took just 5 years in the history.

The World was so much bigger then! The world impending doom feeling that would surround a young person back then must have been really intense, especially for the Jews as those racial laws were coming out, I couldn’t even imagine how they felt!
where is leningrad the hero city???? that's the best one!!
Winston Churchill could forsee this hence that inspiring speech. It's the collaboration by a section of society that made the occupation successful.

I hate war. War is a terrible terrible thing where family die and I wish no one would ever go to war again. But, what is worse than war. Is if you become so fearful of it, that no matter the situation, no matter how severe. That you wouldn't fight to oppose it.

The citzens of paris rose up against the german occupation forces.
How Far did the allied troops have to advance into France before France thought it was safe to un-surrender to the Germans?
Oh, how I love how people who never experienced occupation and war are always so eager to judge and criticize...
The internet is full of people "who know better" from the safety of their couch.
I hope you are aware that the French were part of the allies.
@@ghaithmagroune1253 France surrendered in 1940. There were only 100,000 free French soldiers before D-Day.

He had a ration stamp for it.
The French were incorporated into the German army and fought for the Germans.
They werent. I'd like to see where you got that from
Paris did not see much fighting. Even without a D-Day the Russian would have continued west and liberated France just like they did for Poland and east Europe.
The Russians did not liberate polland you idiot they slaughter ed them
Yea Russia liberated poland from life & freedom along with finland, estonia, lithuania etc
No...they took over. My parents ran from the Russians to the Germans. Mom said then it was 50/50.
Even the French was impressed by the splendor of the German uniforms,the French colonial power was over!
French colonial power didn't end. German colonial power had ended at the end of WW1.
So the Frenchies know from 1940 on how the Algerians feel under the French Colonialterrorregime, but the French Troops were much more brutal in Algeria then the Germans in France.
Well, the Algerians had been raiding and slaving in France for 1200 years ... maybe it was a little payback?
"The Start of 4 years of humiliation and suffering" LOL tell that to the germans when you signed the Treaty of Versailles, heil from Finland!
Those Jerrys got stuck right into those French girls. It wasn't like breaking into Fort Knox. The French - The Great Capitulators and the great collaborators
Four years of german occupation...under german military commander Coliditz.
4 years if suffering? Paris did pretty well serving the hun
They didn't exactly have much choice.
They did have a choice and they chose to be cucks, as said at 37:20 . The Resistance wasn't cuckolds and many died resisting against the oppressor.

where were the French Jews deported to ?
In the comments, anglo-saxons who've never experienced WW2 telling us about how they, from Britain, the USA or Canada, would never have surrendered to Germany.
Being brave 75 years after the last attack by a German army. Props, guys.
Anglo-Saxons? Watch your filthy mouth you Sassenach.
The ancestors of those Anglo-Saxon - and Celts - faced the same enemy and did not surrender.
@Gayle Elizabeth I'm sorry to inform you he is right. Those countries don't know what occupation is like and it's easy to be a couch hero from the in front of a computer with the safety of time, distance and hindsight. The US always fought a weakened Germany, when the best of its army had been ground down by others for years already. And France - as all countries managing to last centuries - always had a backbone, at least enough to not follow Bush blindly in 2003, only 16 years ago.
I don't pretent I would have fared better than these people did had I lived throught that. I can just hope I would have. Hopefully, I will never have to find out.
UK, USA & Canada saved france. France spent most of the war collaborating and fully cooperating with Germany. Vichy France caused more trouble for the allies than Italy. Shameful. French resistance didn’t appear until after WW2

They had it pretty good under the occupation. The French had access to butter, fatty meats, wine, real coffee, real tobacco etc. - goods not available to the German population since the trade embargo was put in place in 1939.
Compare that to the realities of living under Soviet occupation - way up to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, its satellite states were drained of food stuff by "mother Russia", the facto leader of the Union.
Ego Alters yea cause food makes the fact that millions of young men of your beloved country be starved in concentration camps or being forced to work long hours to build fortifications that fought against your ally better!
False, the French did not have access to real coffee they made coffee out of chicory. By the end of the war, French people were starving in cities due to the lack of availability of butter and small quantities of meat. Rationing continued in France after the war as well. Wine is normal because France is a wine producing country but large amounts of wine were stolen and shipped to Germany. In fact France was the biggest agricultural producer of food diverted to the German war effort.
Ego Alters, you strike me as being just a little bit sick.
The Germans stole most of the French food supply- west are you on about?
Oliver Twist,No meat it makes them aggressive and disobedient!Feed Then Gruel!Probably better than today's Irradiated food!Come to think of It even Soylent Green would be better!One wouldn't think that Ground up Granny's would be Green though!Irradiate them Then?Moldy!

Nobody said they had it easy but they did deserve everything they got
Shake on u for being toxic
So the battle of france, the Allies had 144 DIVISIONS, and managed to "hold out" in a puny 46 days, a little over a moth with about 3 million troops, is to laugh at.
Now compare this to Norway....
55000 troops......
and holding out for 62 days.............

@@christmar67 You cannot (honestly) deny that the French had a nasty habit in WW2 of abandoning their positions without informing their allies of their movements. Leaving their allies to swing in the wind. NOT a good way to establish a positive reputation. Then ordering the Royal Navy to NOT evacuate French troops -- WTF?
Q:What is worse than having 5000 French soldiers behind you?
A: Not having them behind and in front of German soldiers when you are a Brit and stuck in Dunkirk.

wait what, You were occupied by handsome germans. it sounds weird. but it's kinda fun to watch.
Hum : as an American / veteran 8 yrs / and who's father served / numerous uncles served in ww2
This documentary makes me angry
My fellow Americans died liberating a country that basically didn't deserve the lives of my comrads
I feel for the Afghanistan civilians who died fighting an invader / who ?America / They defeated the most powerful country in the world for there freedom

Paris gave it all away to the Nazis just like now as they're giving up once again to Islam. Say goodbye France, the lefties like it though.
boomer21. Fact is that what bigots say about Muslims today, the Nazis were saying about Jews back then. Ironic, huh?
What you support Islam..do you like the fact that we know have gang rapes, acid attacks, bombings and no go zones practicing sharia law all over western Europe !!
boomer21. Why would I 'support' Islam, for goodness sake? I'm not a Muslim for a start. All that I am telling you is that those things you say about Muslims were said about Jews by the Nazis in the 30s and 40s. Therefore, it is something that you have in common with them. Those are facts.
The reason why a make those statements about Islam is because their ultimate goal is for complete and utter destruction of western culture. The Nazis outlook towards the Jews were not of the same context as mine towards Muslims these are two different situations.
No Muslim bigotry ?? what do you think they would say of you ? mostly useful idiot.
What a load of propaganda. Wow
Kind of odd when they are interviewing a man and a woman, the man just sits there with a stupid look on his face while the woman does all the yakking

The French could have fought the Nazis. But they chose to lay down and surrender. And even collaborate! Hedging their bets just in case the Axis came out on top. They chose to wait for others to fight and die for them. Americans. Canadians. British. Had to come to their rescue. Make all the excuses you want. I think it's disgraceful.
So do most French.
...Well, with the exception of Marine Le Pen and National Front members.
So they didn't want to fight another war for the jews, big deal.
So who are the tratiors? The ones who surrendered and collaborated, or those that didn't?
