  • Join us as we explore the untold story of the German soldiers during the occupation of Paris. Starting from June 14, 1940, the Wehrmacht marched into Paris, marking the start of a dark period for the French capital. For over four years, the enemy held control, and while much has been documented about the hardships faced by the French under occupation, little is known about the perspective of the German soldiers. How did they experience this period? What were their living conditions like? Did they interact with the French population? This documentary delves deep into the untold story of the German soldiers during the occupation of Paris, revealing the often forgotten and hidden side of this tragic chapter in history.

    Excellent documentary, but given all the care taken in its creation, it is unfortunate that AI narration was employed, with the resulting mispronunciations and masking of the interviewees’ voices. It’s like preparing a delicious meal and then ruining it with too much salt.

      Very informative, l appreciate that. I knew little about the occupation of Paris. Very difficult to listen to due to multiple mispronounciations in all three languages, French, German and sometimes, even English. If this were cleaned up, you would have an impressive podcast.

    My grandfather was a Parisian Jew during the war. I will always remember him telling us how disgusted and shocked he was that it was French police officers who rounded up the Jews. He survived in part due to the kindness of countryside french farmers. The Parisians according to him did too little too late. They mostly submitted to their occupiers and only "woke up" when the allies were close.

      oui ma famille était a la campagne, et leurs récits étaient terrible. ma grand mère a caché de nombre juifs en fuite, sans faire partie de la résistance. cela se faisait beaucoup à la campagne en tout cas. mes 2 grands pères étaient prisonniers de guerre. et des grands oncles faisaient eux partis de la résistance et en sont morts. ma grand mère paternelle, dont ses frères faisaient t partis de la resistance ne le savaient pas pour sa protection mais aussi car elle était trop bavarde apparemment. dans ma famille il y a donc eu des résistants, des prisonniers de guerre, des personnes qui ont caché des juifs de passage sans être résistant à proprement parler et des "attentistes" comme on les a appelé après ( personnes essayant juste de survivre sans dénoncer ni aider). heureusement pas de collabos.

    This is an excellent documentary for a topic of the Second World War that is rarely discussed in detail. One concern I have worth pointing out is the narrator's absolutely terrible pronunciation of German and French words. I didn't expect the pronunciation to be perfect, but he absolutely butchered these words. Yes, I realize that this documentary was not originally made in the English language, but come on.

    I haven’t really watched this yet, so I can’t comment on the film, I’m just noticing that a lot of people have complained about the dubbing employed in this documentary in the comments here, and if you’re anything like me and dislike dubbing, you can go to the settings for this video and change the language back to the original French, turn on subtitles and watch it that way instead, which I recommend. The dubbing here does seem to be pretty obnoxious.

    The film deserved a real narrator- the auto stuff is awful. Also, they never mentioned D-Day or the begging De Gaulle did to get Ike to detour to save Paris and let Le Clerque (?) enter the city first. Ike did it to give the French a chance to redeem it's lost honor, while allowing the Germans to get away and set up defenses. It was Ike's biggest mistake, especially after De Gualle strutted through the city claiming it was a "French victory and ONLY french". No Germans were afraid of the French 'Army', but they knew better than to fight the US. Some gratitude.
