On August 25, 1944, after more than four years of Nazi occupation, Paris is liberated by the French 2nd Armored Division and the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. German resistance was light, and General Dietrich von Choltitz, commander of the German garrison, defied an order by Adolf Hitler to blow up Paris’ landmarks and burn the city to the ground before its liberation. Choltitz signed a formal surrender that afternoon, and on August 26, Free French General Charles de Gaulle led a joyous liberation march down the Champs d’Elysees.

And the US 4th Infantry DIVISION, PARIS is free from the NAZI,s
WE must cherish OUR freedom, otherwise it will be taken from us.
The Canadian oil pipe line was taken from us by a KING mentality, & we lost countless jobs & vital petroleum income to our people! FIGHT,FIGHT,FIGHT!

Amn Roger Omberg - If Trump gets back in office we will regain this...I hope. Then people will see what a screw-up Biden was (but the democrats will still deny it).

Fortunately even the Nazis had people who disregarded senseless orders.
