- 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.
Always feel fortunate when I discover new, and authentic historical footage from WW 2 ,thanks for posting this.
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 ! Bientôt les grandes choses suivantes, il s’agit des tribulations divines. Montjoie Saint Denis ! 👊🏻⚔️✌🏻⛪️✝️⚜️⚜️⚜️France
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.
Einmalig diese Aufnahmen aus dieser Zeit, bisher noch nie gesehen. Hervorragend der Bericht. Danke dafür.

A subject not breeched often.
Excellent.
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.
Schön zu wissen,das es auch noch normal denkende Bewohner in Europa gibt. Der Bruder eines Onkels war im Krieg in F. stationiert. Hat dort seine Frau kennengelernt u. ist auch in F. geblieben .

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.

Charming fellow
J'ai adoré ce reportage , il y en a d'autres dans le même thème ? svp
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!!!

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.

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!
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 ?
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

Excellente enquête sur un sujet méconnu qui nous fait nous interroger. Documents vidéos passionnants
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.
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

That first frame about soldiers fraternizing was actually French police. Many of those guys were pro fascist depending on the locale
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 !!!
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 ?

A period of French history that the French would like to forget. Shameful.
shut up, sweep out your door, especially if you are British or American (genocide of entire populations throughout the world, submission to peasants in Vietnam, neutral during the war supplied arms to the Germans in secret CIA DOCUMENT declassification) In short, no one is perfect but you hit the jackpot
That says far more about you than it does about the French.
@ PILDUSKI
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENT !
What is shameful ?
PLEASE TELL ME
From which country are you ?
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.
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!!
Das würde den Linken in der Seele schmerzen was sie am Anfang dieser Doku hören.

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.
A great documentary that was quite balanced. The horrors of war also on full display, sad times for many.
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.
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.
The best documentary about France during WW2 I have ever seen
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.

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?

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.

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
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 !

I don't think there was any hate before Napoleon and then later after unification of the german reich and Bismark. The "hereditary" ennemy - expression we use in France - is not Germany, it was always England... I don't know why we started fighting together but, well for sure, we ended dropping the status of Europe forever as a secondary player in the world. What a shame...
Incredibly good. Thank you.
Over 30,000 French women legally married German soldiers 1940-45 so for them the occupation was different to the usual picture
It was more than that; plus, the number of illegitimate children born from German soldiers, were in the hundreds of thousands.
the "usual picture" is made up of allied propaganda. The fairytale of an evil germany is ridiculous
C'est la collaboration horizontale 🤣🤣🤣
yes .
IL n'y a pas eu que la collaboration horizontale , il y a eu aussi la collaboration idéologique sans compter la collaboration économique de toutes les couches de la société ; les industriels , les leaders de la corporation paysanne , et beaucoup de grandes caves viticoles ...
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

Very good film. I devoured all the unseen footage!
Thank you. It really helps in understanding.
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.
I guess the French loved every minute of it. Certainly some played along to get Benefits, being opportunistic, no need for trouble but in the End a Foreign Army inside your Country Nobody is supposed to like it. Today i consider the French as Brothers in Arms for an Free Europe! Europe UNITE!
watch it again and start at 36:30. You missed the point.
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.
But Not Forget history of the war All parts
If I was president here, I'd pay every Frenchman a 14 day trip to Berlin or Munich or Cologne.
The cost,...maybe around 20 billion but, it would at least be hyper positive !
Why, do the French lack knowledge or understanding of the Germans? Just curious.
Why ?
@@jocelyneb Just curious to know if they still had any presence and influence in the French political scene. Have they lost influence amongst the younger generation?
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!!!
Dekuji,za,dokument
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. And now many on that little thumb sized continent of your are dissatisfied with the EU. The begged question here is when are you finally going to get your act together?

Dunkerque qui a eu lieu à la fin du mois de mai jusqu'au début du mois de juin 1940. Plus de 340.000 soldats alliés sont évacués par mer grâce à la défense des soldats français, permettant à l'Angleterre de poursuivre la guerre...
L'armée française était forte mais commandée par de très mauvais généraux qui comptaient sur la ligne maginot.
De toute manière la bataille de France (attaque surprise par la Belgique) fini par une défaite 100 fois plus humiliante pour l Allemagne divisée en 2 parties des décennies.

I was waiting for the treacherous anti semites to pipe up!which 13:15 there were alot of in France.
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
Intro thumb bit confusing with a crusher capped esh esh stood in the middle with a later National Bus Company badge stood proud on is at.
My mother was an Austrian orphan raised in Germany during the war. I am proud of my mother's heritage. The German people are the great race they believed they were, and still are.
Yeah but a lot of that "race" is no more as the war killed MOST of those Men.
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..

What an excellent doc!!!
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?

When i was at school..i had à teatcher who live during the german occupation and he told us german soldgiers where quiet polite ..helpful....
"Handsome, tanned, relaxed conquerors" and then they went to the eastern front.
We sometimes forget that Germany borders France so there was, I’m sure, a lot of fraternization. Maybe relatives living on the other side of each border. Never mind Vichy France. Guess it all depends on where you were located in France whether you considered it an occupation or not.
on oublie souvent que les soldats boches étaient des violeurs et des assassins de civils et que leur population rêvait de réduire les autres peuples à l"esclavage!!
@Richard_Lush, that is how it should be, we are one human family, always have been, always will be. We are only momentarily separated by language, culture, the land we inherit, the experiences of our ancestors.....all created by the Dark Magicians to keep us separate, so they can manipulate and control us. We are captives of their matrix.
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.

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...😂.😂.......

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.
