August 1944: The liberation of Paris

In August 1944, Paris ignited in revolt even before Allied troops reached the city. This documentary uncovers the real story of the Liberation: resistance members, ordinary citizens, Leclerc’s 2nd Armored Division, American GIs — and even former German soldiers. Through rare colorized footage and gripping firsthand accounts, it reveals a far more intricate and compelling reality than the one traditionally told. 02:41 The alarm clock 34:47 Insurrection 01:00:05 Liberation
