- After D-Day, the second turning point leading to the end of the war, is the liberation of France, and the progress towards Germany. People mostly remember the Liberation from scenes of jubilation as the population was welcoming the men and women that were to free them from years of oppression. But behind the idealised images, some dark sides remain. Everywhere, disorganisation of the administration, severe food shortage and high level of insecurity lead to chaos.
But a political struggle between De Gaulle, the resistance from within and the Allied forces is taking place behind the scenes. Americans intend to administer France, once fully freed. But for De Gaulle, the only legitimate government is the one he has led from exile since 1943. The liberation of France should not be left to the Americans alone as its future sovereignty depends on its capacity to “free itself”. Therefore, any acts of bravery of the French Guerrilla, as small as they can be, are crucial into reaching this objective.

It was said in this doc that the food rationing system was dismantled in France after 4 yrs, in 1949. Lucky them! In Britain it would take almost 10 yrs before this would happen.
These are the things we're never taught in school. Thank You very much
Thanks to you for watching!
The French were lucky. Britain had another 4 years of rationing ahead of them. It didn’t end till 1953!
'54
Wow....I didn't know that! Do you know reasons why?
I have a historian friend. He’s always said that as part of reparations, Germany should have been forced to keep France.
😂😂I am german and yes we are still forced to feed the french inside the EU. We would be better with BRICS and spend money on holidays in France.
Talk about an untold story. I knew none of this. An exceptional documentary.
Paris honours the forgotten Spanish fighters who liberated the French capital
Paris was officially freed from Nazi occupation on 25 August, 77 years ago. "Paris is liberated by itself, by its people," General Charles de Gaulle declared the following day. But the first Allied vehicles to drive into the city belonged to the 9th company known as La Nueve, and the vast majority of its members were Spanish Republican fighters.
Spanish Republicans were Communist.
The French were never meant to have an occupation Zone in Germany . It was only after De Gaulle complained that they got that western strip. When the British (BAOR ) wanted to re-industrialize Germany , by restarting Steel production , the French said no . But it happened anyway , just at a lower output .
Reminiscent of the terror of The French Revolution where denunciation meant death, guilty or not.
Already more than half-way through and not a single reference to the many thousands of Spaniards in the French military and resistance. This despite the fact that the documentary starts by underscoring de Gaulle's sense of hurt national pride and desire to give the liberation of France an unequivocal French identity. It really would be interesting to explore all these events from the perspective of national myth-making and to contrast what happened with the way that it was portrayed, which is in fact what this documentary does, except apparently as an exclusively French affair. The same goes for the role of Algerians, Senegalese and others.
French fought in SS Carlemagne and German SS in french foreign legion in Indochina (Bien Pien Puh)
i just love this narators voice
My father was an officer in the 29th Division. He told me the French girls were hiding their German boy friends in the basements.
You can't blame the French for hating collaborators. And you certainly wouldn't want French women sleeping with the ones that conquered your country. That's aid and comfort to the enemy.
There seemed to be a lot of brave french men once the Germans had gone though, killing people without a trial on hearsay. So yes you can blame them, it made them no better than the Germans.
I remember hearing about the French women who had their heads shaved at the time it happened,but I can remember people talking about it in England,and everyone said they deserved it
great documentary
Thanks so much!
Excellent documentary. War is not a neat and clean thing.
It was an informative ,incredible 👍🏻, and wonderful historical coverage video about that remarkable matter...same scenario occurred ( liberated mission by allies everywhere during WW2. ) same chaos, internal revenues,Iranian revenues, Turkish plundered missions.. American Marshall law punishments and summary murderers occurred after 2003 in Iraq 😢
Thank you!
French Dig for Victory only after they have been set free, in Britain we started Dig for Victory when War started, as Churchill said i can offer you nothing but Blood Sweatcand Tears You ask what is our aim what is aim Victory, Victory whatever the cost how ever long it takes..
And we did in the End Prevail...
It was not only France. Britain and other European countries too. The British also had ration for several years. When you think about it, it was normal. The war consumed and destroyed huge proportion of wealth and productive assets. The war created huge problems such as refugees. The destroyed business relationship and supply routes. How could people get back to normal, as in pre-war normal quickly?
Sounds like Covid 2020 / 2022 Suppily issues ,etc etc
And that was just a peace time mess.
Britain still fought on still rationed for a long..time and then fought on..
The women of the resistance had way more balls than De Gaulle.
I was born in 1948, I don’t specifically recall rationing, but I did have a ration card.
A brilliant informative and enjoyable documentary , but spoilt by not dubbing the French into english - meaning those who wish to just listen to it can't- so it is denied to those with restricted vision , or reading difficulties . I cannot understand why documentary makers do this as it has no advantages .
That depends upon one's perspective. Although your points about restricted vision or reading difficulties are legitimate I wouldn't say that there "no advantages" to not dubbing a film. Some of us consider that to be spoiling it.
@@brianally1531 with the rise in trying to make as much as possible available to people with disabilities this would appear to be going in the opposite direction . This could be considered discriminatory against those with disabilities .
Oradour-Sur-Glare. A town with every man woman and child massacred on June 10, 1944 by the SS and they hadn't sabotaged or killed any German.
You delared war on Germany.
French resistance from a nearby village kidnapped an ss officer and a soldier and burnt them alive. The comrades of the men took revenge, as deterrence it does not matter greatly that it was not the perpetrators village.
You never see that mentioned in world at war.
This is enlightening. Excellent Work 👏🏽†
yeah, from d day to 6 june 1944; dudee's drunk
People's Court? Sounds like the one Roland Freisler presided over.
war is hell
And the French were never the same !
This is why the French are so French !
Some nasty scores were settled in France, with an eye on post war power. Communists had enough support to think to challenge for national leadership. Some parties raced to german prison camps in 1945 to collect and shoot high profile opponents. De Gaulle was a strong nationalist when that was important to unifying and rebuilding the country.
I guess pride will not feed you.
France forgets that your government declared war on Germany.
Forced too when Germany attacked their ally (Poland), as was the UK
But the French never did liberate Paris by themselves
@14:39
The General was telling a lie... LOL
It seems a lot of people were wrongly attacked, and even murdered by the resistance, a lot of the evidence was easily rebutted
Sounds. A bit like. Peoples. Courts. In. Revolution. ???!!
Yet again proves that French history is………complicated, at best. Many, many different twists and turns.
Tragic outrages. May the souls of the innocent Rest in Peace and may God have Mercy on the souls of the delinquent self-righteous murderers. A sad story in isolation, however, think . . . The French were freed from Tyrany yet had no qualms subjugating the people of French Indo-China to their Tyrany. Double standards! Do unto others as you would wish others do unto you! And then, American self-righteousness would rebrand their dominance in Vietnam. The military-industrial complex has a lot to answer for. President Eisenhower fore-warned the world. It never ends, sadly.
France did collaborate with the nazis and relocated the french jews to the camps. I was very surprised when, while serving in West Berlin, I saw french troops and their foreign legion marching with us and the brits. More surprised that france was awarded their own sectors in West Germany and West Berlin. Neither deserved.Justice in the post ww2 France reminds me of the justice during the French revolution and the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Then to add insult to injury we supported the French in Indochina alienating a bunch of countries who wanted freedom. Other than Thailand, which was governed by a dictator (who happened to be OUR dictator), all of the other countries did try communism for a spell, until they saw the light...
You should read about the free french forces and their military facts during WW2, and then you understand the french sector.
The crimes of the French revolution re-lived.
2024 Germany is rich the allies poor
Industry and science, dearie. 🙄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Keep in mind that this is a french documentary, wich means a lot about our capability at looking back at our dark hours.
44:43 Kelly's Heroes.. 🤣🤣
Le fait demeure que nous les Nord Américains avons sauvé la peau des français non pas une mais deux fois.
😂😂😂
And of course you did it all on your own without the assistance of any other country who was also fighting.
100 days in ww1 after the germans were on the run
overestimated role of France in world war II
Explain.
French resistance was hardly impressive , and vichys role was scandalous- as bad of Franco racist Spain. Only Fran I did not send Jews the death camps. before it was clear overboard was coming . French collaboration was widespread and in many cases gratuitous.that said, French resistance was impressive and very helpful from early 1944, and especially in the late spring on.that sID THE FENCH FOUGHT VERY BRAVELY IN 1940. Esp the North African troops . Communists and the young adults put their parents to shame.
