Allied forces failed miserably in the initial fight against Germany. With the Germans high on meth, their blitz was overwhelmingly quick and took the allies off guard (allies were bunkering down like they did for in WW1). German tanks steamrolled through and Frances surrender was the unfortunate result, they weren't prepared.

People ate all of their pets,pigeons,rats,mice,all of them. Only after a month the siege started,cannibalism started too. A soup made out of fine animal skin shoes was the best dish one could have. About a million starved,couple hundred others because of exhaustion,illnesses and german bombings. German bombs took way less lives than anything else,though. Mainly bombing not the people but the infrastructure and etc. ruining the starving and already practically destroyed city even more.

Reminds me of stories my grandad would tell me from the war. He was born in german-occupied Jersey, just off the coast of Normandy and Brittany. We had our own language here, Jerriais, but English was the more widely spoken one. Jerriais made a return during the occupation as it was close enough to French not to arouse suspicion, but not so close that the Germans who spoke French could understand what we were saying. Sadly, the language of my people is all but dead, with more and more native speakers dying each year and almost nobody learning it or speaking it at home.

Zirmas you realise that the allied military planning wanted the Germans to bypass the maginot line, the point of the maginot line wasn’t to hold off the entire German army it was to secure the flank of the army while the main armies of Great Britain an France link up with Belgium forces in a pre decided defensive line. there is a myth around how the French didn’t expect the Germans to go through Belgium again when of course they expected it and that’s what decided french defensive planning in the interwar period. What ultimately doomed the allies is that they didn’t concentrate their forces correctly

There were those in the Reich who had it even worse than the French. The Slavs suffered even worse treatment because the Nazis regarded them as the most inferior, next to Jews. And there were the Dutch, who suffered mass starvation at the hands of the Nazis, and the Russians who died in the siege of Leningrad. And Poland was the centre of the Holocaust horrors, for it was where the Nazis installed the six death camps.

One thing about the artwork - The Germans never got the masterpieces from the Louvre like the Mona Lisa or the Venus de Milo. In 1939 all the artwork was split up and hidden in chateaus across the French countryside under the coordination of the curator, M Jacques Jaujard. The last piece of artwork left the Louvre on 3rd September 1939. The Mona Lisa had to be secretly moved five times throughout the war in a game of cat and mouse with the Germans.

Local languages, cultures and cuisine of these areas were pretty much different of the ones of Italy, and even though italian was the official language of Piedmont-Sardinia, it was the mother tongue of only 8% of the population (and french was the mother tongue of 5%) in 1860 in the county of Nice, a hundred years before WW2. They never "forgot" that they were Italians because they never were Italians. They were occitans highly influenced by Italy. What you're saying is as false as if i was pretending that Dutch people forgot they were German because they have been close culturaly and and were at one point in history in the same political entity. Mussolini had no valid claim on these regions and neither did he on Albania, Ethiopia nor Greece. Oh! And by the way "France taking advantage of a desunified Italy" is complete bullshit. They supported the unification of Italy, and fought by its side against the austrians. The french then conquered Lombardy that was under Austrian control and immediately gave it to Piedmont-Sardinia.

In France we use the expression "to be called arthur" (Se faire appeler arthur) when we "get it in the neck", scolded. It's a reference to the german patrols yelling "Acht Uhr !" to those who were still outside after 8pm during the occupation.

Good thing they aren't doing curfews and mandatory ID cards like the Nazis anymore. Just a mandatory ID card, curfews, house arrest, mandatory vaccination, wearing of slave submission mask, mandatory closing of ONLY small business, churches, and banning of private gatherings. I guess we are doing it better than the Nazis because we hypocritically call tyranny as freedom. That is the secret to making it work! People that read history are idiots. Intelligent people watch TV and believe everything they see and hear while calling those that notice patterns and ask questions as "stupid" and "crazy".🤪

@@dakoderii4221 Places have different local COVID laws but everyone understands them to be temporary. My US state has mild conservative restrictions, based on local medical expert opinions, but some people are arguing that common sense and slight inconvenience is tyranny. (Complete loss of income AND refusal by govt to supply the "paper" that is their exclusive monopoly, that IS tyrannical .. a Fiscal Holodomor unfolding.) Masks are no more slave submission in common spaces than masks worn by medical personnel, or mandatory hardhats & steel toed shoes at some work sites, or mandatory eye protection on welders, or mandatory uniforms at fast food, or mandatory coats and ties in some restaurants, or mandatory shoes/sandals and shirts to enter a convenience store to buy beer on the way to the beach. Masks are one more tiny rule added to existing rules of civil society .. I see a problem with some US locations closing restaurants even when they invest in outdoor dining. I went to an indoor Tex Mex restaurant yesterday .. there was a sheet of plastic separating booths but I admit it was altogether risky with everyone breathing the exhale of people nearby. If ONE of those hundred people was an asymptomatic carrier, I could have huge problems or death for a meal of chips and burrito. Yet I understand how contentious it is trying to balance the rights of consumers and the rights of small business with the rights of hospital medical staff and the goal to maintain some slack in terms of ICU beds and other resources.
