Description: | Select Guide Rating The Occupation of Paris told in a new light; the effects on its citizens as well as on the city itself. In May and June 1940 almost four million people fled Paris and its suburbs in anticipation of a German invasion. On June 14, the German Army tentatively entered the silent and eerily empty French capital. Without one shot being fired in its defence, the Occupation of Paris had begun. |
