Preparing For More
Armed with the knowledge that France had been captured, the allies’ commanders and officers began planning their final assault on Germany. Fighting would take place in the north, with the Russians and Partisans on one side and the rest of the allied forces on the other, consisting of French, American, and British troops, on the other. While the officers were preparing for the next storm, their simple soldiers were beginning their period of relaxation before the next storm hit the area.
Pride & Joy
The streets of Paris resounded with a joyful cacophony that would reverberate throughout France. After a long period of time, children were once again able to play in the streets, and mothers could begin to be concerned about more than just avoiding the carnage on an everyday basis. Soldiers were able to put their rifles down for a short period of time and enjoy the fruits of victory alongside their liberated people.
