Exactly what I did
Sounds like the US today
My grandmother was a resistance fighter and courier for the BBC in Normandy. She was in more gunfights than most vets and was a loaded pistol. She taught French until she was nearly 90 years old. Vive la France, la Liberté, et la Résistance!
Did she teach the continual mass slaughtering of France's colonial countries citizens, hmmm.

Id actually like to see what life was like in Germany post WW1 and Versailles Treaty. And then again post WW2. Those poor civilians had it rough.
All lies they did not have it hard, they didn’t even welcome the American soldiers when they were liberated.
Well they elected hitler so... in a way they are not all white
They’ll never talk about that 😂
Imagine being a 40 year old at the time, you had spent months or even years fighting in the trenches during ww1 and now 20 years later your government surrenders after only 6 weeks
Imagine having your country ravaged by years of war only to have people living in the one nation to see hardly any of those horrors on its own soil laugh at you for saving the monuments and history of your capital city
Imagine spreading cream cheese over your bagel that just came out of the toaster only to drop it on the floor and have it land face down.
@@nikolai3620 That must suck
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.

C'est vrai.
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.
What are more people speaking in the area now?
@@TheAzureNightmare they speak French however many areas of Brittany still have a couple tens of thousands who speak our local Gaelic language Breton
Did he ever talk about the beast of Jersey?
@@genericorochimain7027Jersey? They are all British I don’t know what that guy is going on about?

"Daily calories intake reduced to 1200-1500 calories."
Leningrad: That's for a whole family, right?
A grad's gotta eat fam
You mean the whole city
For a family of 6,yeah. During the siege workers had only around 200 grams of bread a day aka couple of pieces. Soldiers had around twice as much,with other populus getting around 100-150 grams. 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.

Is that still a thing even today?
@@itsblitz4437 perhaps for the Soviets this time ? 🤔 nations under NATO that were formerly Eastern bloc nations have heavily fortified borders in case of Russian invasion
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
@Zirmas Fix you comment to "it's all fun and games until some tank breakthrough ardennes forrest" Edit: change sedan to ardennes.

Poles got only 1500 calories a day on average, 500 less than in France and western europe. And warsaw was completely destroyed unlike Paris
@@LeoInvictus At least Yugoslavia had Tito. Apparently the guy was such a threat that he was an Abwehr objective as early as 1941. A friend of mine read that in her grandfather's war diary.
Greece was even worse
@@stc3145 Few know that Warsaw was after Manilla in the Philipines the most ravaged city of WW2. Even more then nuked Hiroshima/Nagasaki and bombed Berlin/ Tokio
Warsaw was for 85% totaly destroyed, Manilla 90%
The Nazi's destroyed warsaw on purpose to quel the uprising.
both had additional massive massmurder of civilians by the occuping armies during the uprising / battle.
Warsaw 150.000+ and Manilla 100.000+
I have to say it really boils my blood as a French guy when Brits or Americans make fun of France's WW2 behavior. When the fact is these 2 countries have never been invaded. And the entirety of WWI was fought on French soil.

Bro I love this guy video, keep going!
Really enjoyed the video, reminded me of some of my own
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.
@armia krajova Yes, still, the Louvre gave them a hard fight because, "Merde."
Don’t know how accurate it is, but Robert Frankenheimer’s “The Train” is a great depiction of the Nazis trying to steal the art and the efforts of the French resistance
Reminds me of the old movie "The Train," where the French Resistance keeps redirecting a German train of stolen artwork back into France.
@@TheDanrox110 Well hell, small world! I always laugh at the part where they drop the sign on the water tower after the train leaves, revealing they're still in France.
What’s up Camus?
I actually found out that my grandfather, in France (he was an American soldier), had a kid with a french woman and told nobody. I took a dna test recently and found out I had relatives in France, and that's how I found out. I met them earlier this year and they were some great people!
That’s awesome. Found “lost relatives” myself in Germany and got to meet them. Ain’t it great to connect with your roots?
@@equarg Oh yes, I’ve heard of a similar story where a black couple had a child that was very light skinned *after* birth. The man accused her of cheating, but it was proven the child was his. Plus, some dark-skinned children are born very light after birth but regain their melanin later on.
Though It’s funny because my brother was the opposite. He born with a tannish complexion, but his skin got lighter later on. He was also born premature, so that might explain it too.

But that was a the whole point of the Maginot line, To force Germany to go through Belgium.
Multi exactly
But the German blitzkrieg made it harder for France to defend because refugees start to go to France then after that they fought... But the Germans encircled Most of France's forces which lead them to low defence which means they can take France without really struggling of defenders

Good history, I learnt a couple of new things👍
Hitler to Mussolini: Congratulations you tried, here is a tiny piece of France
The truth is that those parts of France that Italy occupied were Italian before Napoleon III took over and the French state forced everyone to speak French and forget everything about being Italian.
@@Melnek1 Savoy and nice were given to France by the kingdom of Piedmont Sardinia as thanks for their help against the Austrians....
@@jameslegrand848 And...? This changes nothing, it was just another case of opportunistic acquisition of territory by France, taking advantage of the disunity of its Italian and German neighbors, of course, all in accordance with the international laws and practices of the time.
My point is that the Italians had a legitimate claim to French territory that they occupied at WW2.
@@Melnek1 They had not a legitimate claim if the population wouldn't join.
Furthermore, they were not italian but savoyards (in Savoy) and Niçois (in the County of Nice).
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. The county of Nice and Savoy are gifts for the help of France that was crucial in the Risorgimento.
@@Melnek1 You're a complete moron. Napoléon III supported italian unification and independance. As for Savoy being an italian land, thanks for the good laugh.

Ironically enough, France did not change its time zone back after the war, staying on Central European Time with most of the EU. It also retains the use of identity cards to this day.
And the world uses passports (from the French "passeport" literally "let go through the port"), a French invention from centuries ago.
Yeah, when I was changing planes in France in January I had to have my passport scanned 3 times.
What a bunch of fascists.

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.
Hahaha ! I thought it was a joke but it proved to be true when I checked !
Strange name of Arthur, I had 2 people that I called Arthur and it enraged them. I was very young, 10-17,never knew why that name enraged them, but they were too young also to grasp this reference.

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.

Great video. I was never aware that the French had it this rough during the occupation, but I should have suspected it ofcourse. Learned a lot.
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.

The Germans wanted to preserve that which the prophecied would be ruined, and what are we watching a single lifetime later?.........

@@hz.mevlanacelaleddin-irumi5399 it wasn't to make nazis look bad it was to make the French look good
But... Egypt was under the control of the UK, was this a joke about how English and French museums both contain a bunch of relics which aren't theirs?
this is amazing quality 👏 🙂

4:24 I love that shot of the Frenchie, just completely takes all the stereotypes for French citizens: thin mustache, cigarette in his mouth, restaurant owner, pissed off, formal dressing, it’s just great.
Lmao
restaurant owners are pissed off only to american tourist who don't try to speak French especially in Paris

Late comment, but holy cow dude! Your animations are awesome
It’s just so crazy like. Actual people were living their life like this, and now we watching it on CZcams it’s crazy
A beautiful video Griff! Very well done with a true artistic flair. My grandfather was actually an STO during WW2 and apparently he nearly died towards the end because of allied bombing and starvation as the Germans abandoned the STOs to fend for themselves. As always, thanks for letting me voice for it! Merde!

Fun fact: The lights on the Eifel tower were installed in 1987
Really?
Cool
Actual fact: Gas lights were used in 1889, until electrical modernization in early 1900's.

Now, after all of this harshness that Germans forced over French, it's pretty much shocking that german occupation policies in France were actually, comparing to the other countries, one of the most lenient! In some other countries, especially in Eastern Europe, (like in Poland, Soviet Union or Serbia) there were such measures that for any killed German soldier they would execute randomly chosen 100 civilians and for every wounded 50 civilians! Not to mention that massive ethnic cleansing and even genocide policies were introduced later! I mean, Nazis really did know how to make a occupation as hard as possible.
were can I learn more about this?
Maybe because occupying France was a cake walk for them .. unlike others
True
LIES!
@@GuyUWishUWere You can start by checking out German/Soviet occupation of Poland
In one of our english texts we had a story about german occupied french where one kid ( french) hated his french teacher and then under the new orders french was disbanded from schools. Later on the author said something extremely beautiful. "Will they make the birds chirp in german too".
