- This is an excerpt from the film "The Spirit of Liberation": • Spirit of Liberation -...
Between the 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 19th August. 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.

Now imagine Easter European countries. They were liberated of 5 years of Germans only to spend 50 under the Soviets
those german POW were smiling because they knew they would eventually go home. the ones captured in the east by the soviets would either be slaves or dead
Please don’t block anything with a blurry box. It is important for people to see the actual carnage of war.
@barbarasmith3899 that's TH-cam censorship, probably, not the author of this video. TH-cam increasingly frequently does this.
@@Steveross2851 Yes, extremely annoying, and disgusting really. Liberal approach.
@@Zeus2024-pn2ht Uhhh...no. It is actually a Capitalism approach.
This is a free platform. Content producers make up their costs with third party advertising.
The content producers self-censor their videos with blurry boxes because they do not want their work to be demonetized by potential advertisers electing to not have videos of corpses associated with their Doritos commercial. So... "Liberal" has nothing to do with it. It is called Capitalism.

@@dvhughesdesignsometimes it's TH-cam and sometimes it's the author. Depending on the video and the circumstances it could be either TH-cam or the author.
My Father was there. Thank you, so well done. Bravo.
The invasion and advance into France might have been much harder without the French Resistance I think.
Ah oui. Entièrement raison. Les resistants l ont payé cher.
keep up the great work. best restored and colorized footage on the internet unlike many other attempts where the color is constantly glitching back to mono or that the only colors in it are glitching blue and orange. this channel's got the best i've seen so far.
It's not 'colourised' footage. It's actual colour footage, shot on colour film of the time.
@@kevinindublin now is it? wow, from what I know, coloured footage at the time was quite rare and expensive, hard to come by, like they were only saved for super or delicately significant or important events, political or religious
though I suppose footage of the final days of ww2 in Europe counts as quite significant...
I wish channels like these were on trending vs useless couples breaking up or random ppl recieving painted phone cases
Unfortunately you fought for the modern consumerist world that we live in
I'm guessing most German soldiers were greatful they had been captured and were in camps behind barbed wire, it meant the war was over for them, they'd live through it.
15:48 Ernest Hemingway!
My great grandfather, who was wounded twice, said WWII was the best thing to ever happen to him. He met my great grandmother in Germany after the war.
Was your great Grandmother a German woman?
clear, concise, colourful
I wish they wouldn't blur the wounded, I know it sounds barbaric, but it is important to see the realities of war and the destruction it causes.
My father in law piloted barges into Toulon harbor still mined. This video gives no hint of those mines. He said the French were starved. I'd like to know about those mines.
Je suis d'origine normande (manchoise), les images des destructions des villes normandes (Cherbourg, Caen surtout) sont vraiment terribles par rapport à celles des autres villes françaises libérées. Autrement, une des meilleurs vidéos sur cette période que j'ai pu voir.
Not a fan of the added sound
Only the Russians are blamed for the death "missing" of over more than 1 Mio. German POWs. Not to mention of the Mio. killed civilians (starvation) after the unconditional surrender. This is denied history of the winners who "take it all", as the American song states.
Merci beaucoup pour votre documentaire !
Je peux y voir les images de la Libération de ma région Bretagne et Saint- Malo ville de ma naissance!
Merci beaucoup !

the color film brings all these events alive
George Stephen's films were already very good but imagine these have been enhanced to HD as well. So fascinating! Makes 80 years ago look like yesterday! We all need to remember though Nazis are back in 2023 within America itself this time - trying to take over. Hitler Tojo and Mussolini would be proud.
Good comrade, +50 credit score
Time is a flat circle....
Nah a donut
Color is so good here really could have been made yesterday. Does make one think - and there's scientists who confirm it now - that we can go backward and forward in time - as time is circular and not linear as we thought. Government knows it's true.
Thanks
The veterans on our side said the enemy uniforms were grey. But these seem to be quite green.

What a time in history.
The occupation was obviously carried out by the Nazis but back then and until quite recently the French used to call it “the German Occupation”.
No, we call it "l'occupation"
Quality footage
Arde Paris?
Horizontal collaborators.
Salutes to a great generation. Proud to be n American!
Now we have Russia. Same as then.
Этим пленным канкретно повезло...
these people relatively looked exactly the same as the people today, there is no difference.
When I see all the young soldiers fall on the Normandy beaches and can’t believe our US Supreme Court won’t defend democracy. They are pathetic.
BEFREIER ???
But how is Paris and France doing now -all these years after the liberation?
The GI uniform is cooler back then. Now they wear very large baggy clothing
@11:37 WTH. Cringeworthy. They’re even looking at the camera and probably thinking 💭……”what’s this dude trying to do to me?” Lol
Not Nazi, not Martian, but German occupation
Why do people feel the need to come to these videos and talk about what their family tree did in WW2? Lol.
Because it's why we feel such a connection to the war almost 80 years after it ended. Most people who didn't have family in it don't ever think about it or care.
so ein Schwachsinn wenn ich immer lese Befreiung von Paris ,weil es den nie geben hat.
You are the nutcase.

Gotta love the Americans in the Hotchkiss 105mm German gun shooting at Germans. The commentator said 155mm it's gotta be a 105mm Hotchkiss..
First
Eh bien, les Français sont-ils satisfaits de la libération ? Aimez-vous vivre dans un pays musulman?

Den Franzosen gings ziemlich gut unter uns. Im Gegensatz zu den deutschen in Deutschland anschließend.
"Uns" --- Euch
Die Franzosen hassten die deutschen Besatzer, welche minderjährige Résistance-Mitglieder ohne Prozess erschießen ließen. Das Massaker von Oradour durch die Verbrecher der Waffen-SS war nur ein weiterer Tiefpunkt der Barbarei des widerwärtigen Nazi-Regimes in Frankreich und Europa. Nach dem Krieg übrigens machten Nazis in der jungen Bundesrepublik mühelos Karriere (siehe Filbinger-Affäre und Konsorten).
Doing ‘pretty well’? Is that supposed to be a joke?
In this video he fails to mention NORMANDY where a combined troops from the UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA AND CANADA went to ENGLAND to launch there attack against GERMANY, but don't forget the PACIFIC where AMERICAN FORCES were fighting JAPANESE forces. Then came the ATOMIC BOMB and the war was over then KOREA AND VIETNAM then 911 the WORLD TRADE CENTER the PENTAGON and PENNSYLVANIA and I was in NYC
Why don’t YOU make your OWN video about THOSE battles TOO instead of complaining like a BOOMER. World war 2 was HUGE, this video is all but a small GLIMPSE.
What is your point?
Советские нацисты расстреляли триста героев РОА за поддержку восставших жителей города Прага , прямо на больничных койках . Убили героев РОА тяжело раненных в боях с гитлеровцами , май 1945 .
Ты и тут гадишь?
Лучше вспомни, как вы уничтожали евреев в Львове, Киеве....

The Soviets weren't Nazis. What's wrong with you. Aunt, the Soviet Union lost the most people in World war II fighting Nazi Germany. They helped turn the tide of the war.
Yes
Germany was a terrible and criminal country in WW2, but it is a model country for exemplary behaviour today.
Не хотят больше потеряться!
Good behavior for being scared to death to be called racist and letting millions of third world fighting age men into their country?
Are they really better off now...hey as long as they don't seem racist right? That's all that matters?
France was liberated in 1940
You missed it by 4 years!
bruh
От себя 😁
😂
Amerikanische Nazis lösen die deutschen Nazis in Frankreich ab.
The FFI were communist, they got run out of France after war😂😂😂
Today, Russian soldiers are fighting fascism again.
Forward Russia!
Bravo!
Putin and Hitler are the same...
Are you one of Hitler's unfinished Nazis, Vanka Kalmar?
Imagine actually believing something this stupid
