This is a video about a rarely covered topic, the touristic element of the German Occupation of Paris. It covers the fascinating anecdotes and histories of German life in occupied Paris and how they turned the city into their own rest and relaxation center, but it also covers the disparities between the German occupiers and their French hosts.
I hope you enjoy it.

Hey everyone, as usual you can find the sources linked here and in the description box. This video is almost certainly going to get demonetised but I hope you enjoy it anyway. However, because of this I'm considering setting up a members system where those of you who really want to support me can through TH-cam, I would be interested to hear from everyone whether they'd prefer this or the conventional Patreon option.
Edit: If my voice sounds different in this video it's because I had to record the audio while I had a slight cold. Sorry!

I thought you hired a Bri‘ish narrator 😳
Imagine being a German soldier stationed in Paris, getting drunk, punching an officer when he reprimanded you and two weeks later you're in Stalingrad.
@@sunnyjim1355 Oi guvna, imagine ye get roight knackered in Worcestershire an‘ ye punch an offica when he gives ye a bollockin‘ an‘ two weeks later yer in Burma
@@GhostRider659 this is why I love TH-cam’s comments section
@@ScorpV1 Im from Burma. why though?
@@CrimsonAlchemist because it was a colony and the people were not too happy about that, disease, heat, poor infrastructure at the time plus the potential of a Japanese invasion. Not as bad as Stalingrad, but not great either.
@@alfredandersson875 what do you mean the 'potential' of a Japanese invasion?
oh my god... im belgian and my entire life ive heard and used the saying "living like god in france" to hear the history behind this is amazing, your videos are so stunningly beautiful.
The expression comes from the renaissance though.
Like a german in france you mean?
The saying came in to existance in reference to the absolute kings of France in the early modern period (ie the "Sun King" with frases like l'état c'est moi). It doesn't come from this, it was just very applicable.
We have that saying in Germany too
@@MaticTheProtoIt originated in Germany
I think the allies did the same after they liberated Paris (the tourism part, not the occupation). My grandfather (American) spoke fondly of his R&R time in Paris after he suffered an injury.
yeah i read in antony beevors book "ardennes" that many parisians said that life under the Germans was better than the Americans, because the Americans often stole a lot of things, refused to pay money and generally acted entitled.
@@spitfiremkiv339 I'm shocked.
@@spitfiremkiv339 I would like to think liberators are more entitled than occupiers.

@@spitfiremkiv339 Most Parisians were heavily aligned with the Germans, it’s why the French Resistance treated them rudely.
When the STO was announced in 43, my great grandfather took his bike and fled from Picardy and went into hiding in Normandy. He was working in a factory during the occupation and had been an artilleryman during the battle of France. Unfortunatly, he never spoke very much about the war and what he did during the occupation so that is all I know.
Life under occupation must have been humiliating and depressing.
Especially when the Germans invade with uppity and zealous feelings of superiority.
Must have been amazing when learning about D-day and waiting day by day for the front to reach you.
Thank you, France for helping us during our revolution. We’re proud to help you guys from the Nazi muddy trench Germany pushed you into.
Glad Germany was also freed from that nazi cesspool, after shoving most of Europe into it.
All the survivors, including my great uncle are the lucky ones.
That war was one of the most inhumane ever. Wouldn’t think even ancient warriors would be able to handle the kind of horrors Modern war can give.

This was really well made, turned out to be interesting as well, but what really stood out here for me was the narration and particularly the visuals, which were both elegant and made with dedication.
Agreed makes you wonder how beautiful the world might be had the Germans won...
@@WhiteCheddar.dawg what, he’s talking about the animation style
@@WhiteCheddar. always that one weirdo
The Eastern Front and the Russians were famously a threat that was held over German soldiers both by their own command and Western Allies holding them as POWs - in the 60 Minutes piece on the Ritchie Boys, one of them told of how since he spoke Russian and they somehow had hold of a Soviet officer's uniform. If an interrogation wasn't going well he'd barge in and demand, in Russian, to be handed his prisoner and that usually got the interviewee (a commissioned officer/Nazi Party member or even SS) to open right up so he could stay in the Yanks' hands.
I cannot remember his name, but I read about that guy and a few days later I actually saw him at a University of Michigan football game on Veterans Day. He was actually a Jew who had been forced to flee Germany shortly before the Holocaust escalated, and accepted a job interrogating German soldiers because he understood the language and culture so well. (I think also understood Russian because his parents were Eastern Europeans who fled to Germany).
I just find the idea of Nazi tourism funny.
"To your left you have the bonfire, please throw your guidance pamphlet in it".
lmfao
@@RobespierreThePoof no, for two reasons. It's too on the nose, and it relates less to tourism. You're not given books when you're on a tour of something.
Wow, what a fascinating story. Beautiful video.
Hi 👋
Fascinating video, especially since i'm french and grew up in the paris suburbs and never learnt about this. My Grandfather was a mold sculptor (for metal, mater plastic etc) and got drafted for STO. I don't know when in the process but he "accidentally" broke a limb at work, and had to be sent home. I don't know much more as he died at 101 years old in 2011.
What an age. Bless your late Grandfather 🙏
Nothing like a banger Imperial Video to start the day
HEY ITS THE RUST GUY! YOU DO GEOPOLITICS???????

The expression "living like god in France" is a renaissance expression.
Middle-age* even
Are you just realising now how uncreative Facists are?
They're stuck in the past but uncreative on their own. So they hurt in the name of nostalgia
@@falconeshieldyou can't even spell "fascism" correctly lmfao

I thought it was German.

Congratulations on 100k! Your videos are an amazing quality on fascinating topics, this is a well deserved milestone.
There's a videogame that lets you experience this sort of contradiction, "The Saboteur". It's a bit off, but no-where else can you win against the German occupiers in racing go-kart style. Also it's stylish nature, as if taking inspiration from this video.
Also the fact you can just SHOVE nazis off of high ledges...even able to toss them off the Eiffel Tower. Best stealth kills ever.
I remember playing it for it's stunning art design.
I’m so glad someone immediately thought of that game as well! It oozes the same style as this video, so cool!
The Saboteur does not get the credit it deserves
The quality of the content you produce is unmatched, especially when looking at the view count. I really hope your channel blows up in the near future to make up for the attention you deserve to have received ages ago.
Can't wait for what's next to come :)
These animations keep getting better!
i’m stunned you only have 41k subscribers for this kind of content. i’d except millions, you’re definitely underrated. keep up the good work!
What a magnificent channel. This era we are in right now can feel quite crappy, but the 2010s will be renowned for advent of brilliant intellectuals like you setting up shop on TH-cam and blessing us with award level knowledge!
That’s why I call this decade the retarded 20’s, to contrast it with last century’s roaring 20’s. Since the world decided to lose its mind over 3 years ago thanks to the ccp virus.
We're in the 2020s now lol
@@_MaxHeadroom_2020s sucks compared to 2010s, but yes in compartment to 1940s it's pretty alright
I love how you have designed this video, the theme of redness and the lines of red upon characters is very symbolic for me. I applaud your attention to detail and your hard work. I wish you had more support for such great content.
such an interesting video. I have visited every museum in paris and I don't think i came across this except a bit in the paris city museum.
What a beatifully crafted video. Excellent work!
You are truly skilled at writing, I commend you greatly. Additionally, the visuals and graphics leave very few competition, they are just beautiful and I absolutely adore them!
The GOAT
indeed
Did you teach him how this amazing visual style?
You produce such high quality video essays, I have no idea why you dont have a million subs already
The production quality and visuals are incredible! The artistic direction and script is super unique and welcome to the TH-cam minidocumentary pool
The video is amazing.
I couldn’t help but notice how much the music elevated it. Well done!
I just discovered your channel and I thought it would have hundreds of thousands of subs but no; your content is amazing and I'm truly baffled about how you are not more popular. I love your content and hope you keep on being awesome!
Holy crap this is such a beautiful video - it’s art! You DESERVE many more subscribers!
These tunes!
you watch imperial
your a man of culture i see
The animations just get better and better! Great job 👏
Great video as usual.
You’re a magnificent producer - your channel is significantly underrated.
Keep up the good work!
Truly beautiful visualizations, and sterling narration. Great video!
I'm glad I found this channel. Great work, keep them coming and I hope this channel's subscribers grows many times in no time! ❤
Wow wow, what an excellent video! The script is brilliant and the animations are perfect. Instantly subbed
This is the same as what the United States did to Manila or Saigon
The irony is that France did the same exact same thing in Saigon
This is the same as what the US did to every country it invaded. They did that to us. They are the new nazis, it just that liberalism and democracy are the narrative they like to peddle abroad, while engaging in imperialism and colonialism for the same economical and authoritarian reasons the Axis had. This is what the amerikkkan is.
@@azypk and with Germany in a way, no?
This is one of the most beautiful videos ive seen in a while! Amazing animations and storytelling, wow!
Really impressive editing, a really underated channel.
Man your editing and story telling is top notch 💯💯
Damn, that's a good video. Amazing visuals, compelling storytelling, great voice over, an overall masterpiece. Great production value, truly. Thank you for this. Keep up the good work, please. hope your channel grows and grows!
Oh. btw, gorgeous pronunciation of German and French.
thank you so much for bringing this channel into existence ...... you are blessed
I love the graphics iv never seen anything like this before this channel need more recognition
Instant like! Love your video's, hope you reach your goal of 100K subs this year and keep creating them. You deserve it!
great video as always man
really this video is amazing
I have watched all your videos and must say I am really appreciating them! As a Canadian it is tough to find documentary's that are not influenced by US bias or interest. It is really refreshing to hear another point of view. Lastly I must commend the writing / script as it is extremely well put together and to the point. It feels to me like many either don't take the time to create a script or blab on unnecessarily...almost like they are trying to hit a time mark for their videos.
I just found your channel and WOW. Thank you very much for this high quality content wish you much success with it!
What a channel. This should be getting hundreds of thousands of views if not millions
your videos are absolute class! Already hyped for the next one❤️
This is some crazy good content man, keep it up!!
This Channel reprents the best of TH-cam
Excellent work and Amazing Graphics dude
After watching the video I noticed that this is my first time watching video of yours, I tought to myself that this is probably one of the best if not the best animations I have ever seen in youtube. I took a quick guess of how much subscribers you are going to have after watching the video and in my head there was millions of susbcribers but to my surprise at the moment of me writing this comment you have only 41k subs. Great job, you have a bright future on this platform just keep making these videos and these thousands and maybe millions of subs are gonna come in future. You should be sure that you earned at least 1 more subscriber. Great work.
You definitely deserve more subscribers, this is some nice content!
Lovely! This channel is destined for great things!!
These are so well done. Thanks for the video!
its insane how good your videos are
underrated channel wtf, such good videos
I recently visited Paris a few months ago and imagining Wehrmacht jackboots marching down the same streets as I did, or drunk men stumbling through the same alleyways I did, all clad in cold, stone grey uniforms, and all the while the French inhabitants of the city starved and struggled through the occupation are thoughts that give me deep chills. Great video.

This channel will blow any day now. This is incredible
I came across this video just by spamming the F5 button, and clicked on it without any expectations, and holy, your editing and narrating style is simply beautiful, keep it up :) !!!
Incredible content, haven't seen anything like this before. I'm glad to have discovered you before you blew up :)
Great video man !
Love your content, I’m so glad I found your channel ❤️ Hello from Belarus 🤍❤️🤍
Very well made and scripted, great job. Enjoyed this
I don’t know why but this is my favorite video you’ve made
I've probably seen a matter of seconds of content from your channel and I already subbed
dayum,
such quality definitely deserve Gold button
Love this video style🤌🏼 Quality content and creativity Hope to see more from your channel I have subscribed
This is definitely in my top 5 thumbnails of TH-cam. Jesus Christ, so fucking cool 🤩🤩
"Paris will never see it again."
Bold statement, considering recent history. . .
Excellent video on a fascinating topic
There was something akin to this in one of the Recent Wolfenstein Games.
I forget which city it was in, but you read a letter, and it’s of a nazi soldier/veteran who vacationed to California or something and was remarking about it in a similar manner to the people you mentioned in the video.
Wild that it actually had some historical basis, makes it all the more impactful for me.
Wolfenstein young blood is set in Paris
A very well made video with finally someone making actual effort, and including sources. God damn i don't know why it is not the norm, but thank you. I wish there were more high quality academia-lite style educational videos.
Franz in Paris is the next Netflix show we can hope for, now
Can you remember me when you get to 10 million subscribers? Your documentaries are well researched, written, edited and presented. You will be big one day mark my words.
Can I just say, I am such ww2 history buff girl, and I have never seen a video done like this before, Just pure amazing and so talented, you've got yourself a fan and subcriber !!!! Can't wait for the next videos
The animations, script, narration and research made me think that this video was made by a channel which has over a million subscribers. I am genuinely surprised. Great work!
Very well done. Bravo!
I love the aesthetic of this channel
Top notch content I'm subscribing
how do you not have like a million subs? You're going places buddy 👌
Please, what is the name of the songs that were used during the chapters:
The French Experience
and The End of Tourism?
Your channel deserves more subs. Anyway, here's mine. Great video!
criminally underated, love the artstyle as well
I think the city was at its Best during the occupation aesthetically: fuel rationing means no Cars, no contamination and cleaner air.
I’d say the 1890s-1910s would be better. All the benefits of low/zero cars without the Nazis. The French people would have been happy during this time.
I read a book called "The Perfume Thief", set in Paris in this era and it was absolutely fascinating
Wonderful and well-informing video. I'm a bit surprise about the remark that "nowhere else could soldiers experience this so-and-so". It is my understanding, that the occupation of Denmark and the Netherlands was quite peaceful for the occupiers as well. Of course, Amsterdam and Copenhagen couldn't match the luxery of Paris, but Denmark was the so-called "Whipped cream-front" and "butter-front" as well because of the peaceful bounty of dairy products and, on the surface at least, easy-going locals.
I'd heard of KdF through the role it was to play in the distribution (and funding!) of the Volkswagen but not so much of their main thing. Speaking of cars, the picture of the Folies-Bergeres at 6:00 has a postwar ('49-52ish) Chevrolet passing by in front.
The thumbnail is splendid 👌
I'd suggest leaving the full French graphic unpacking STO on screen for a full second or so, I figured you didn't mean "Service des transports de l'Outaouais" but that's what I usually unpack it to...
Beautiful video and a well-told story!
Beautifully made
Amazing video! Continue the excellent work !!
Very beautifully written documentary
Amazing vidoe!
Amazing video!
The production quality is truly mind blowing.
really well made video! has a real cool lemmino vibe to it. Subscription from me
you could also add music you used in video, great vid btw
Tourism Without Consent does sound a lot like what happened in places like Prora, Jūrmala, Yalta, and Sochi. All authoritarian rivieras.
