De Gaulle sought to embody the whole of France, but it had been a fractured nation. The reconstituted French force that entered Paris in 1944 was equipped by the US. Dwight D. Eisenhower's decision to march on the city was key, despite initial plans to bypass Paris.
Paris transcended France's turmoil, representing freedom and artistic aspirations. Despite its fall to the darkness of Nazi occupation, it inspired many. The smog and impending doom before the Germans' approach in 1940 characterized a significant dark cloud over the City of Light.
Paris '44 presents the occupation and liberation as a gripping narrative. Characters oscillate between collaboration and resistance, capturing the complex spectrum of emotions during that tumultuous period.
