- The German military administration in France ended with the Liberation of France after the Normandy and Provence landings. It formally existed from May 1940 to December 1944, though most of its territory had been liberated by the Allies by the end of summer 1944.

Stunning. Profound. I have watched hours of WWII footage, read scores of books and articles about the war. Nothing has compared to this very personal documentary. Bravo!
My parents lived in Paris all through the war except at the start. They were in London when France declared war on Germany so dad left to join the army. He was wounded when Germany defeated them and escaped capture by fleeing to the South. Mom found him nursed him back to health and they returned to their apartment in Paris. They missed a lot of the "nice" part of the occupation. Their stories are of troops breaking into their building in the dead of night to seize any Jewish people living there. Also the years of deprivation as Germany stripped the country of all the food so they were paying dearly to eat animal fodder. Looks idyllic in the home movies but at the same time they were taking all the Jews, gays and people with disabilities to be eliminated. Not quite so nice and friendly. My dad barely escaped that fate when someone on the street said he was Jewish and was almost arrested on the spot saved by a neighbour who defended him. That stuff was happening daily despite all the happy faces

The French were so fanatic about their French language. But now they have to deal with 3 million muslims

Don't you like your language ?
Do you know what "fanatic" means ?
Where do you come from ?
@@user-gu7kk5zk2b Thanks for those sobering words. It's more akin to how life really was under German occupation.
Of the many hundreds of films about the War which i have seen, this is among my favorites. Very open, humane, yet incisive. The narration is fantastic.
Amazingly, in the documentary a German soldier said that they were fighting to survive, but in reality, those people being put in camps were not at war with them. And the British, Americans, Russia and others came and had to stop them from going around murdering people. The Germans seemed to think that their arrogance, envy and hatred was superiority. That's probably what Hitler, who wasn't even German, saw in them that he could use. Good documentary.
I'm a Portuguese living in Germany for a year know. In Dresden.
I love this people...
I lived in Paris for 5 years. It was the best years of my life, so far. I felt at home in Paris. More than my own capital, Lisboa.
We, Europeans , need to come together, with all our differences. That what makes this continent beautiful.
The war is over for 80 years.
Let's work together.

A subject not breeched often.
Excellent.
For the most part, the Germans in Normandy got along very well with the French. Most of the Germans in radar and gun installations were old WW1 vets, unfit to fight in Russia. They traded their rations - and gasoline - for milk and fresh food. They went to church and to shops. There was virtually no resistance there.
The English and French both got along with the Germans. Its the elite that had problems with Germany. Mainly the banking cartel that got kicked out of Europe when the Germans arrived. THOSE are the handful of people who started WW2, NOT the Germans.

I also was a soldier of the Bundeswehr, member of 1st Mountain-Division and we were sent to France in 1978 to care for Germany war graves. We have been living at French families home during this time at Châlons-en-Champagne. The French families treated us as if we were their sons. I cannot believe what other people are writing here. Meanwhile we stay at least one time every year in France and we have French friends also an ex soldier of the French army who has married a German girl. We just came back from a fortnight stay at the French Atlantic coast and I must say the French always have been very nice to us. We stayed at a camping site on Victory day two weeks ago and some of the French people even tried to speak German to us when they realized our campers number plate.

How strange for you to comment on this. I just finished watching a documentary on the liberation of a Japanese camp holding several thousand American civilians and I too was profoundly struck by the charm and beauty of the women interviewed. I should reveal I suppose that I am four times your age.
@@MrLemonbaby well the primary goal of my watch of this documentary was to destroy the myth that all german's soldiers were bad and all nazis. They just were soldiers like the others!
German soldiers LOVED France, one because it was a pretty safe place to be posted and second because there was a vast amount of food and luxury items there the troops could send back home to their families. Of all the occupied countries in Europe that a soldier could be sent to, France was undeniably the best.
There wasn't enough food for the French population
@@faouzielmir9894 there was up until mid 1943 when the Americans and British started bombing every target of opportunity.

No no, my comment for this video: Tssssss ! Si ce n’est pas un documentaire orienté pour salir la France et les français c’est quoi ?! hein ?! J’ai regardé seulement une vingtaine de minutes cette infâme propagande qui fait parler quasiment que des allemands, alors que de surcroît ce documentaire est censé parler de la France, et le peu de français qui y parlent font quasiment que dire qu’ils admiraient leurs colonisateurs nazis. Vous montrez que ce que vous voulez montrer pour nous humilier et on sait pourquoi. Quel scandal ! Quel affront ! Personne échappe à son karma… Pourritures… Mais vive la France !

How much does everyone love this narrator? I don't care which documentary he's on, whether it's the deadliest roads series, or any of the many others he's done, his voiceovers are the most entertaining, by far....
His emotions are sometimes felt.
His nasal undertones sometimes.
I can almost see his face while listening.
Charming fellow
Who is he?
We often get biased, slanted, skewed or propagandized documentaries that cover WW2 because as they say, the victors write history. Most WW2 stuff is just a rinse & repeat of what we already know - it’s mostly regurgitated & repeated stuff without any new details or facts. We often forget the human side of the history & the personal stories. Also, we get the reductive trope of Axis = bad & Allies = good. Not all the Germans were bad & not all of the US troops were saints.
Anyway, seeing the home movies of Axis & Allied soldiers along with their memoirs & correspondence gives us the most personal, detailed & deep history of the war. So footage like this is incredible & important. Thank you
Si!!! Tous les schleus ont été des assassins et des violeurs en toute impunité car couverts par leur hiérarchie!!!
Coming from somebody who knows nothing about ww2
@user-mu5mr4vw7n there's always one
To be even more specific about this video, what many people ignore is that the French police and gendarmes who helped the Nazis arrest and deport 85,000 Jews to France between 1940 and 1944 still exist today. One was created in 1791 and the other in 1941 by the same Vichy government. And also the police minister of Vichy René Bousquet was a very good friend of the former French president François Mitterrand who protected Bousquet from the death penalty after the war despite his many crimes against women and children. In short, after WWII, Germany cleaned up its past but France not really.
85% of french jews survived the occupation.
Germany hasn't arrested all the former nazis

Everybody in France knows that (and Division Charlemagne, it was was only 7340 men), as well as the infamous "Milice".

There were fascists in every country.
Mes parents ont vécu la guerre près de Paris , ils n'ont pas vraiment vu l'arrivée des allemands comme des gentils soldats .
Ils ont crevé de faim , fait la queue pendant des heures pour s'entendre dire " il n'y a plus rien !" Les allemands se servaient d'abord , le reste pour le pauvre peuple . Le soir le couvre feu , les jeunes envoyés au travail en Allemagne ou sinon entrer dans la résistance.
A entendre les témoignages on a l'impression que les français étaient pas si mal que çà !
D'autre part les gens qui filmaient était rares car avoir une caméra à cette époque relevait déjà d'un certain niveau social .
Ma grand mère à entendu un joueur de piano allemand , celui-ci couvrait les cris de Roger qui résistant se faisait torturer pour dénoncer ses compagnons . Dans certains milieux d'autres s’arrangeaient avec les allemands , certains s'engageaient dans les SS .
Mes parents ne sont plus de ce monde , je crois qu'ils auraient été très choqués d'entendre certains témoignages de français .
Vous avez raison. Les français ont vite oublié que tout soldat schleu a été un violeur et un assassin parceque en totale impunité par toute sa hiérarchie, et parce-que la race des vainqueurs il fallait bien qu'ils s'amusent ! Perso je vomis sur toutes ces merdes de français qui achètent les bagnoles allemandes pourtant au top10 des pires constructeurs au monde, juste par snobisme alors que notre industrie qui souffre est bien supérieure !!!
ben mon gars chacun son histoire.. 300,000 bébés sont nés des fruits de amour durant quelques années d'occupation. Ce chiffre est astronomique.
@@mrktyb Évidemment comme vous dites " chacun son histoire" Sauf que cette histoire c'est celle de millions de français qui l'ont vécu . Bien sur qu'il y a eu des histoires d'amour , mais çà ne retire pas le mal qu'ils ont fait !

Mon grand père est Allemand est revenu dès 46 en France retrouver ses amis français . Il n'a jamais vécu aucune animosité pendant et après la guerre .Selon lui seuls les derniers jours avant la libération ont été difficiles avant les résistants de la dernière heure . Il ne sait jamais senti en danger dans les villes françaises ou il a vécu , se promenant seul dans les rues quelques jours avant la libération ce qu'il aurait impossible en Pologne ou en Yougoslavie. Il est revenu s'installer en France en 1950 se mariant avec celle qui fut l'une des ses nombreuses petites amies de la période d'occupation.
Les jours de la libération ont effectivement été très difficiles pour tous. Dans tous les pays occupés par les allemands il y eut des histoires sentimentales superficielles ou solides qui aboutirent parfois à des unions. Beaucoup d'enfants naquirent d'ailleurs de ces rencontres partout dans les pays occupés. C'était parfois très mal vu de la population et mal vécu par ces enfants traités d'enfants de boches mais pas toujours. Derrière un uniforme il y a toujours un homme et tous les allemands n'étaient pas des SS. L'occupation a été différente en Pologne et Yougoslavie. Ce n'était pas la même tactique et politique.
pour moi il y a eu 2 guerres en une seule....je m explique , celle que vous décrivez avec l occupation ne se sentant pas en danger par la population française et l autre guerre avec les waffen ss et l extermination des juifs . je pense fortement que votre grand pére et les autres, ne savaient pas ce qui se passait .....d ailleurs une fois l extermination faite, ils détruisaient toutes traces de batiments comme si rien n avait eu lieu ....
@@michelgouverneur885 il y eut la guerre à l'est et dans les Balkans très violente. A l'est pour étendre l'espace vital et y installer des colons germaniques les peuples autochtones destinés à servir d'esclaves. A l'ouest c'était une autre manière d'aborder l'occupation, les populations plus ménagées dirons nous. Les tactiques étaient différentes. Les camps étaient à l'est en Pologne et en Allemagne et Autriche et autres.
En France la population se sentait en danger aussi. Les contextes étaient différents. Les situations et fonctionnements étaient complexes. En fait il y a eu plusieurs sortes de guerre en une seule selon des schémas définis. Et militairement différemment de la Grande Guerre avec les premiers balbutiements des technologies. Aviation et chars etc et guerre des tranchées. Mon grand père était militaire de carrière et a fait entre autre Verdun et les Dardanelles. Mon père Sicile, Monte Cassino, campagne d'Italie, débarquement de Provence etc. Les contextes étaient différents. De la génération née après guerre j'ai connu beaucoup de résistants, déportés, anciens combattants etc.
@@michelgouverneur885 les camps de déportation les gens ne savaient pas exactement ce qui s'y passait. Ils savaient juste que l'on amenait les personnes par voie ferroviaire sans connaître les destinations. Par contre le Vatican fut informé de leur existence tout comme les alliés via les réseaux notamment la résistance polonaise et des militaires allemands. C'était très dissimulé. C'est très sympa d'échanger.

In a village outside Rouen my French girlfriend told me of a Whermacht soldier stationed at a cross roads near her Mothers house for the whole occupation. He didn't leave when the War ended, all the locals liked him.
There wasn't much Germany left to go home to.
Excellente enquête sur un sujet méconnu qui nous fait nous interroger. Documents vidéos passionnants
My mom also experienced the occupation. The German soldiers were friendly and proper. They helped people. But they were harsh when they encountered resistance fighters. Because of course, these were communists.
I guess we can assume your mom wasn't Jewish. The Germans certainly wouldn't have been so friendly and proper then...
Super Bericht. Danke
The French seem to always had a better way of dealing with the wars and Germany compared to the British. I am 54 years old now and served 12 years in the German Bundeswehr in a Nato unit till 2001. So one time we went with our German units into a village close to Paris for a Nato exercise. We couldn't find the exact location where we were supposed to be. We stopped our convoy and went into a French bakery for directions. When they saw us the wife called back to her husband and said: Honey...look...the Germans are back...😂.😂.......
It is just a different perspective of German occupation in Paris . A very different scene in the east.
Even on the Eastern Front, the Germans were welcomed as liberators. When the Germans retreated, the Eastern refugees followed them because they knew of the savage and cruel nature of the communists.
Germany didnt really fight the war against western democracy, the fascists viewed democracy merely as ineffective, inefficient and reactionary
The real ideological clash was always against the communists
A lot of east europeans made the same experience with german occupation. Dont focus on the allied propaganda even though indeed millions died
@@Topvidi
True, I remember talking to an old Russian lady back in 2009, she told me that during the German occupation of Stalingrad , she remembers she was very hungry and then a German soldier shared his sandwich with her.
@@Topvidi What about the Einsatzgruppen in the East ? Was that just allied propaganda ?
I notice the bourgeoise French talk about the American bombing , the American army coming - no mention of the British who equal the Americans in size. The french still have a great chip of how Britain didn't surrender like they did !
I'm annoyed and amazed , ' it was the Americans who won it .' what did Britain fight for then and lose more soldiers than the Americans ?

That first frame about soldiers fraternizing was actually French police. Many of those guys were pro fascist depending on the locale
People need to realize that Half of Europe supported Germany back then! Lots of Legions/Divisions with Foreign Fighters fighting within the Wehrmacht. The French brought a Lot SS Soldiers to the Table.
That’s what they don’t want to hear about. It’s always about the “Brave Americans and Brits” charging at Normandy to save western civilization!!
Il y eut des français de la LVF qui s'engagèrent auprès des allemands pour combattre en URSS dans la division Charlemagne. Ils étaient une minorité. Il y eut aussi dans les pays occupés des natifs qui s'engagèrent de Belgique etc. Et même une division Azul espagnole l'Espagne soulignons le ne participant pas au conflit mondial.
A lot, 7340 men in Division Charlemagne"??
NO.
Not a lot, no.
Des français dans la division Charlemagne oui il y en a eu mais méprisés par les autres français et jugés comme des collaborateurs des nazis et les survivants de cette division après la guerre ont été mis à l'écart et estimés à juste titre coupables au même titre que les miliciens et que ceux de la carlingue qui avaient travaillé avec la gestapo et dont certains ont été jugés et peine de mort.
Thanks for this
N oubliez pas que le viol d une femme etait punie de mort si un allemand violait une française. Ce que l'on ne veut pas vous dire c est qu au contraire, les américains s'en sont donné à coeur joie

A great documentary that was quite balanced. The horrors of war also on full display, sad times for many.
History is not black and white. Never.
It's just a myth that in France everyone hated the Germans and vice versa. Daily life was normal, love between people was also normal. (If it hadn't been like that, it wouldn't have been normal.)
For the Germans themselves, it was also entirely in their interest that everything ran normally in everyday life and that the occupation of France was as bearable as it could be.
The entire myth of “Resistance” was only systematically “expanded” and spread after 1945 in order to rebuild a proud national consciousness. Because the truth was much simpler and more commonplace between 1940 and 1944.
Sincerely, a historian.
The "Master" himself, Charles de Gaulles, never hated the Germans and Germany.
In WW1 he was badly injured, captured by Germans and his life was rescued by German medicals. During his time in German prison, he learned the German language and despite he attempted to flee several times he wasn't treated bad.
Makes a lot of sense.
Most french hated the germans, and THAT is not a myth.
Even though it does not fit your francophobic narrative.
@@BStrapper
If they do indeed, they must be very good pretenders.
@@DasLamm68"The master" live in security in London. Churchill hated him.
These are the French people who believed in a lot of what the Nazi party spoke about. These where the French people who where not being persecuted or treated as lower class because they where not up to nazi standards. But others in the city had to keep low and hide to keep from being sent to a labor/death camp.
Il ne faut pas oublier cela! Tous les allemands ont été des violeurs et des assassins de civils, applaudis par un peuple ,qui rêvait de réduire les autres à l'esclavage!!
To everyone confused/offended by the film's supposed celebration of German occupation of France, rest assured, you ARE confused. This documentary is incredibly critical. It's very light-handed and nuanced, however, - which is frankly just good history telling. Start again at 36:30. It's basically nonstop criticism of the delusion that this was an amiable occupation, evidenced in several explicit statements, but - more interestingly - through its interviews with victims of this delusion, still stuck in pathological denial many decades later, which is quite haunting. It's very well done and lets the truth bubble to the surface without being overtly biased.
One can say after 80 years, that the French, being an old civilization, (the leadership) had made a very wise decision (might appear to be "humiliating") to spare the destruction of Paris, and prolonged blood shed, potential demise of an entire generation of young people (men mostly), industrial scale destruction of the entire country, they waited the war out for three plus years, and preserved its "human resources---the true wealth of the nation".(Not hard to understand since WWI had decimated a generation of young men, the French knew this loss viscerally I imagine). Calling it protective wisdom, or cunning, it was and is still barely appreciated by its own hot heads (the Resistance). The "capitulation" needs to be reassessed, and looked in different lights. In a way, the French politicians at the time, made a decision after the Germans broke through the border, to stop playing the "War Game" (orchestrated by the Producer/Director hiding behind the scenes). A parallel can be made of General Kutuzov making the decision to give up Moscow to Napoleon during the Napoleon invasion of Russia. Many were critical of Kutuzov for this strategic retreat, but in hindsight, he preserved the Russian military fighting power and let the harsh Russian winter and time do the fighting for him---someone who knew his country well, and used the natural conditions to his advantage, avoided unnecessary loss of lives.
@@leiyang477 What a vulgar and decadent world view you have. Following your idea there wouldn't be any civilizations because everyone would just surrender to the next Wild Bunch that came along and the next and the next.
Excellent documentary, impartial, realistic, without preconceptions, really very well done. Unflattering even for us French with this incredible defeat and the passivity towards the occupier afterwards. But what would I have done myself if I had been French in 1940? What an atrocious regime this Nazism is! Nowadays we have great friendship with our german neighbours .Merci pour ce film!
Il n'y a malheureusement pas d'amitié avec l'Allemagne, qui aujourd'hui est la colonie U.S la plus importante en Europe, et qui avec le concours d'Urs La Hyène (pardon Ursula von der Leyen née Albrecht) nous dicte 86% du législatif décidé par Bruxelles appliqué en France. J'habite à Munich et depuis le covid, le soutien inconditionnel à l'Ukraine qui n'est que proxy war des USA contre la Russie. De Gaulle le soulignait: Il n'y a pas d'amitié entre les états...Zwischen Staaten gibt es keine Freundschaft, sondern nur Allianzen.

Tous mes grands-pères lorrains ont été incorporés de force dans l'armée allemande. C'étaient des Malgré-Nous mosellans. S'ils ne se présentaient pas aux autorités allemandes leur famille était déportée dans un camp de concentration. L'un d'eux le père à ma mère venait de terminer son service militaire dans l'armée française puis il s'est retrouvé sur le front russe comme estafette à moto dans la Werhmacht. Fin 1943 il a déserté lors d'une permission et poursuivi par les nazis il en a tué 3 pour sauver sa vie et celle d'autres copains déserteurs. Heureusement l'armée du général Patton est arrivée peu après. Ma famille a beaucoup souffert de l'occupation allemande. La jeune génération ne connait plus l'histoire et les mentalités changent, c'est l'oubli de la mémoire. En tant qu'ancien militaire j'ai assisté à la cérémonie de réconciliation entre Mitterrand et Kohl à Verdun en septembre 1984, à l'Ossuaire de Douaumont tous les morts sont ensemble !
Après la défaite allemande, beaucoup de Français ont pleuré!
A Marseille pat ex. ,je m' en souviens encore!
Avant de dire n'importe quoi informe toi espèce d'idiot !!
L'Homme qui pleure - entre autres titres - est une image prise le 15 septembre 1940, montrant un homme pleurant devant le défilé sur la Canebière, à Marseille, des drapeaux des régiments français dissous qui quittent la métropole pour Alger, en Algérie française, quatre mois après la défaite de mai-juin 1940 et l'Armistice. La scène a été filmée par Marcel de Renzis, photographe au journal local Le Petit Marseillais et correspondant de l’agence américaine Keystone en France.
L'image n'a en fait pas de titre précis, mais est parfois évoquée sous les noms de « the weeping Frenchman » (litt. « le Français en larmes »), « l'homme qui pleure », « l'homme en pleurs de 1940 » ou « le Marseillais qui pleure ».
Cette image, comme film ou comme simple cliché issu du film, est mondialement diffusée et devient un symbole de la douleur de la France défaite par l'Allemagne nazie, particulièrement célèbre aux États-Unis. Le documentaire de propagande Diviser pour régner (1943) de Frank Capra l'inclut. Des erreurs sont cependant régulièrement commises et diffusées autour de l'origine de la photo, prétendant notamment qu'il s'agirait d'un Parisien pleurant à l'arrivée des troupes allemandes dans Paris en 1940.
Poor things.
On peut savoir pourquoi ?
Those in the milice were not happy for sure
How did these French civilians afford cine film in 1940-55 ordinary British families could not it was very rare they could,
The French kept their antique city Paris in tact while England had London destroyed. The Germans couldn't advance as fast as the French retreated. The Poms would have been better off without them.

It was more than that; plus, the number of illegitimate children born from German soldiers, were in the hundreds of thousands.

The reactions of people are normal. Many families suffered greatly under the German occupation. We should not forget but also need to move forward to work on mutual understanding, trust, and friendships.

On mystifie un peu trop la résistance mais en réalité ils étaient très peu, pour la plupart des cocos bourrés toute la journée et lorsqu'ils attaquaient un soldat allemand, c etait des civils innocents fusillés au hasard du village le plus proche en représailles. Et les résistants le savaient très bien, ne l oublions pas. Oui je dis bien que les actes de la résistance ont eu pour conséquence le massacre d hommes innocents.
With the signing of the Hitler -Stalin pact in 1939 Stalin gave orders to the 3 million Communist members in France many in the French armed forces not to resist the German invasion. So many put up a very weak defence if any at all.
Wow, never heard of this, from the Soviet Archive? The Com-Intern did lots of treachery during the wars, both WWi and ii. Too bad, these deeds are hidden from ordinary citizens because the big wigs use them like a pieces on the chessboard, therefore do not let their media arm talk about it. Many countries had civil wars after the end of wwii, often between the conservatives and the communists....this piece of history is often not known collectively to the world population, because we are still under the spell of Nationalism....we don't see that our collective fate as humanity are rooted in the understanding that we need to embrace each other, not fighting each other.
Sounds like a wild story
I was born in 1947 to Parisiennes who managed to have a more benign attitude towards the Germans than I still have. Perhaps I have a less forgiving nature but their stories and seeing books on the concentration camps when I was a child hardened me.perhaps my French parents were more pro Nazi than they let on.

Sad indeed, But remember the French did the same to Germany after WW 1 and 2. Winston Churchill once said the victors write the history of the war.
Is it possible, that Churchill and Hitler both work for the same master? Since neither seem to care much for how many young people die, and how much wealth destroyed, how much misery their respective policy would inflict on a huge swath of the world. And I don't buy the argument that the World Wars were really about Nationalism, Aggressors vs Victims....since someone always has to start the action...
And remember that the Germans served the French just as harsh a treaty after the Franco Prussian war, which, remember was because of how harshly Napoleon treated the Prussians.

A period of French history that the French would like to forget. Shameful.

@ PILDUSKI
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENT !
What is shameful ?
PLEASE TELL ME
From which country are you ?
2024 France faces occupation of a different kind.
Talk about selective amnesia. This revisionist filmmaker & producer's view on the occupation does not represent the majority of the French population who lived under the same occupation. Did you see the cute clip of young people having fun while wearing their yellow Star of David sewn on their shirts? The comments of this cherry-picked group of elderly French citizens who still have fond memories of the Nazis who overran their country, despite all we have learned of German war crimes including mass executions of their fellow citizens, in revenge for the partisan's resistance during the occupation. None of that has made a dent in their appreciation with the polite Germans they may have enjoyed a drink with. I wonderful if there were any surviving FR Jews in that group? That would have been a nice touch. That part never altered their opinions of the Nazis, a word that never was spoken in this documentary. Were they unaware of what Hitler & the Nazi movement stood for? I didn't hear anyone use the word Nazi. A free vacation in Paris! What could be wrong with that? Did they have plenty of company in other pre-war countries, including the USA? Sure. For starters check out Charles Lindberg, Father Coughlin, and JFK's father, who Roosevelt appointed Ambassador to England, but later had him fired for his pro-Hitler
sympathies. And now the Republican candidate, Trump- you've heard of him right?...He wants a "Unified Reich", maybe becoming a dictator for just one day, and getting rid of the vermin who are poisoning our blood.
Bardella Rn = France 🇫🇷 de Petain
Magnifique documentaire.
It's amazing to watch how the french under occupation are speaking well of the Germans.. no wonder they capitulated...
lisez mon article
My first visit to France as a German was in 1990 as a German soldier restoring German cemeteries for the Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge. We visited Verdun and Fort Vaux in Uniform of the Bundeswehr. The French hated us still. They would call us names and spat on us. We never left the barricks in uniform again. 2019 i went with my family on a vacation to Normandy. First they would greet you but as soon the French saw our German licensplate the same thing happend. My father was a American and so i can speak English without a German accent. If the French heard me speak in English they would treat me with respect. If i spoke in German the would ignore me. My impression was that the French would wipe out that humiliation from the history books. The monuments from the first world war were all French made but the ones from the second world war were mostly sponsored from the English, Americans or Canada. For me France is done. Never again.
I'm sure that you're telling the truth, but at the same time what you wrote is just so very hard to believe. I'm French and don't know anyone who actually hates German people. There's no reason to hate you. We're all well aware that the immense majority of German people alive today had nothing to do with WW2. Almost all of the people who suffered during the occupation are dead. We see Germany as our closest European partner. German culture isn't particularly fashionable in France, but we admire German engineering and efficiency. When we criticize you, it's usually because of your decision to close your nuclear power plants, because of your over-reliance on Russian gas or because Germany tends to push for economic austerity, but never about WW2. We see German car plates all the time, it's hard to imagine my fellow Frenchmen being anything other than indifferent to them. Almost every town has a monument to honor the people who died during WW1 and WW2, but we built them and paid for them, I don't know what makes you think that they were given to us by our allies, this is just false. Also, there are plenty of German war cemeteries in France and they never get desecrated. Really, your comment is very puzzling. You're our closest ally and economic partner, why would we hate you?
@@Alsacienthink again. Your people are some of the rudest, pettiest, meanest folk around.
What were you expecting?
I think you were unlucky, because there are French people who love Germany and the Germans. Maybe they were old people
@@Alsacien As a Frenchman you can't understand that either.
Since 1914, attempts have been made to rip the Germans out of their clutches.
Claws that never existed.
Everything is controlled from England. After 110 years of stupidity, it's not just Germany that has been culturally destroyed.
The whole of Europe has lost its identity face!
En tant que Français, vous ne pouvez pas non plus comprendre cela.
Depuis 1914, des tentatives ont été faites pour libérer les Allemands de leur pouvoir.
Des griffes qui n'ont jamais existé.
Tout est contrôlé depuis l'Angleterre. Après 110 ans de stupidité, l’Allemagne n’est pas la seule à être culturellement détruite.
L'Europe entière a perdu son identité !
Von den Filmausschnitten gewinnt man dan Eindruck, daß die deutsche Besatzung im großen und ganzen, zumindest in der Anfangszeit- korrekter verlief als die vergleichbare Besatzungszeit durch die Franzosen bei der Rheinlandbesetzung oder der späteren Besatzungszeit in Süddeutschland. Übergriffe gegenüber der Zivilbevölkerung waren wohl die Ausnahme. Oder ist dieser Eindruck falsch?
Dein Eindruck entspricht der damaligen Realität, bis die Franzosen und andere besetzte Länder von den Alliierten Kriegstreibern aufgehetzt wurden und Verbrechen an Deutschen!!! Dies sollte Vergeltungsmassnahmen provozieren, um die Gewaltspirale anzutreiben!!!
Mein Opa war in Frankreich stationiert. In Paris und Umgebung als Offizier vom Bahnschutz. Für ihn war es wie Urlaub. Seine Freunde sind elendig an der Ostfront verreckt.
Thanks!!
Very good film. I devoured all the unseen footage!
I'm so thankful to not have lived during that time, as an occupier or one of the occupied, when I suspect that for most on either side, their major concern was the well-being of their families. Whether one resisted as one of the conquered or deserted as a German soldier, their loved ones as well as themselves would be made to pay the price. Excellent perspective and well-presented, by the way. Kudos.
I wouldn't have loved to live during that time as a German in the SS
From what I've seen,those that "collaborated" (or just wanted to have peace) was very large in almost all the occupied countries in the West. Because the Germans lost we don't hear much about that. But had they won,those numbers would have ended as a majority. There is historical research that says that in the US at the start of the American Revolution. One third of the people supported the rebels. One third supported the British. And one third just wanted to be neutral. But as the revolution proceeded the one third that wanted neutrality saw that the rebels were winning and started to side with them. I suspect that is most people in the world. They want peace and will side with the winners hoping to be left in peace.

A few months ago in France I met a guy with a german look (physical and face), he seems to be beetween 70 to 80 years old but well preserved and proud of is appearence, wears a wig and teinted hairs. The guy was talking easily and searching for people to talk with about what he owns, and he's leaving Normandy in Cotentin. As we are close to 80 years D-day celebrations, I asked him about WW2 events in his village and he learned me a lot of american soldiers were killed by germans behind or near is property during 1944 summer. Stangely as it seems, the meaning he told me about that, he was smiling and almost happy of these killing during his narrative, afraid me. He spoked about that as he was the author.
I immediatly supposed bad things about him, with a curious and instintive feeling I supposed him to be a son of a german soldier and a french woman. I searched for hundreds of german soldiers pictures on internet and found one with a guy that looks like him enormously ! I am persuaded he is his father ! The picture from wehrmacht was taken in france near the sea board in 1940, and we know germans prisoners stayed and worked in farms until the en of 40's. Please help !
The French in the north are Germanic too
Please help with what?
1 chance in a million... like winning the lotto... keep dreaming...😂
what poeple dont know is that most of the french people were okay with the occupation

25:40 This footage reminds me of the film “Suite Francaise” & also “Silence de la Mer” (in French). In both films, a German officer who was a composer of piano music was billeted in a French home during the occupation. And you know what happens…

Unconventional war they are waging on us, for many years, covert war, by different means, to destroy a culture and a people from within, by flooding it with culturally incompatible elements; by making it ever more difficult to have a family....by indoctrinating our children to turn against their parents, by seeding dissension within a society.

Thank you for this, …absorbing footage..home movies really come into their own recording such stuff.. But we are again left with the question, WHY?
Ritualistic sacrifice and reduction of population, destruction of accumulative human wealth, harvesting of loosh...notice, these wars happen quite frequently, often built up with very dubious excuses (often created by power wielding elites, some hidden from our eyes, the media don't tell us about them). The reason most do not see this, is because we live inside a black box----like the black box theatre, the director, the producer control what we see and not see.....like the matrix.
Und wie war jetzt das genau mit dem Befreiern in Deutschland?🤨
Schön das auch andere Eidgenossen sich darüber informieren 👍🏼
Also die Sowjets vergewaltigten alles zwischen 7 und 70. Manchmal, wenn sie schlechte Laune hatten, fuhren sie "danach" mit Panzern über die Opfer, nagelten sie mit den Händen an Hoftore oder warfen sie aus den Fenstern der oberen Stockwerke, wo unten weitere Soldaten warteten, um sie nochmal zu vergewaltigen. Mit etwas "Glück" überlebten die Opfer sogar.
Die Amerikaner waren wenigstens noch so anständig, Mädchen erst ab 14 oder 16 zu vergewaltigen und ließen ältere Frauen in Ruhe. Was ich wirklich sehr nobel von ihnen finde.
Weiße Franzosen verhielten sich halbwegs anständig, allerdings die aus den Kolonien waren ähnlich wie die Sowjets.
Die haben die Rheinwiesenlager errichtet und dort unsere Jungs wie Vieh verrecken lassen selbst vor Soldaten die 16 Jahre alt waren wurde kein Halt gemacht die waren Täter von der S⚡⚡ haben sich versteckt erschossen oder sind den Amis in den A..

The SS Charlemagne Division that was all French and fought against the Russians to the bitter end
In Berlin.
The "hereditary ennemy" of France has never been Germany, it has been England for over a thousand years. If you ask any french or german citizen, none will be able to tell you why we fought three wars over a period of 70 years: 1870 - 1914 - 1940. But I believe as any mess in the european history since few centuries, Napoleon is never far from being the most adequate culprint to be considered.
Thank you for this great documentary, which is taken from a very human perspective. I do not mind when young men and women just want to have fun, seems to me quite normal - you are only young once in your life. My grandfather was in France as a soldier, his task was later to build bunkers on the shore and for the U Boats . He never spoke much about the war, when I was a child, he was mute. Later, after his death,, I realized that he must have been traumatized from the war. My grandmother lived longer, and when she spoke about my grandfathers time in France, you could still notice her jealousness - as a mentioned earlier, you are only young once in your life.
"Many Masters, Many Lives" by Dr. Brian Weiss, you would love this book, it will give you lots of understanding of your grandfather's experience. Also "Journey of Souls" by Michael Newton PhD.
