Quite odd then that the French treated the British with disdain after WWII despite all the arms and support we gave the Free French Army, how the SOE ran and supplied the Resistance and how the RAF made special raids to release prisoners from the Gestapo. Let alone how D Day, the start of French liberation, was an entirely British devised, manufactured and commanded operation. If Britain had fallen like the French did in 1940 the Yanks would never have been involved let alone liberate Paris.

Strange as it is to watch Paris be destroyed as it might have been, that is exactly what happend to numerous other cities where the Nazis had invaded, before and while they retreated or were destoyed in battle. In an alternative timeline we would be looking at a hypothetical representation of the destruction of Warsaw, Stalingrad, Dresden that might have happened, to name 3 cities we do recall were destroyed. There is so much of the Europe of 1939 that has disappeared from cultural awareness, replaced with utilititarian building blocks and rerouted roads rebuilt for a new age. Also true after WW1 which devastated the regions of the battle in East and West but which were minor compared to the eradication of so much architecture and cultural legacy and the incomprehensible human cost of WW2.

I was in Baghdad myself and earned the Congressional Medal of rear echelon service and the Global War on Terror participation medal. Also a Purple Heart for bruising my leg when I fell off a pull up bar. It was combat-related cuz the reason I fell was that I was spooked by the sound of a mortar round landing 500 feet sexy. Other parts of uniforms I don't know so much about. So much of this was historical footage. If they get the basic story right a few uniform flubs are no problem.

considering the commander didn't have the power to defeat the resistance movement in the city, he probably was experienced and probably just realized there was no practical way he could even cause half the damage Hitler wanted, and after that last meeting probably realized Hitler had finally lost his mind.

This channel is titled Best Documentary, but this hour-long video simply didn't feel like an accurate and neutral depiction. 🤔 Setting this particular historical event aside for a moment, the thing I am left with is I would have preferred a different presentation style of the story itself. I find myself more interested in documentaries where a range of history professors, experts and authors are interviewed to provide an account of the goings-on. They then become the narrator(s), subtly telling the viewer what to look for when they jump to actors in period costumes playing it out.
