Soldiers From The United States Take Another Look At The Eiffel Tower’s Tricolor Flag.
The Nazis held Paris for four years, during which time the city suffered greatly. Liberation Day (August 25) finally arrived on August 25, 1944, after a long period of anticipation. After the arrival of the United States 4th Infantry Division and the French 2nd Armored Division, the Nazis were forced to surrender. Hitler ordered General Dietrich von Choltitz to fire Paris and demolish the Eiffel Tower, according to the New York Times. He has only agreed to the dismantling of the city. After two days, the liberation march made its way along the Champs Elysees to the Eiffel Tower.

We have our doubts that the 156,000 soldiers were aware that the conflict would last about a month longer than it did. It began on June 6, but it was originally scheduled to begin sooner. Because of inclement weather, the procedure was postponed. “You are about to embark on the Great Crusade,” Eisenhower said in his final speech, addressing the gallant warriors. Your gaze is fixed on the rest of the world.
