The occupation of Paris by German forces during World War II was indeed a significant event. It began on June 14, 1940, when German troops entered the city during the Battle of France. This marked the start of a four-year period during which Paris was under Nazi control until its liberation in August 1944.
The occupation had profound consequences for Paris and its residents, including restrictions on daily life, censorship, and the persecution of Jews and other targeted groups. The liberation of Paris in 1944 was a moment of great significance in the Allied campaign against Nazi Germany and represented a turning point in the war in Europe.
