历史今天:1944年盟军解放巴黎(8.25)

【英文原文】

The Liberation of Paris (also known as Battle for Paris) took place during World War II from 19 August 1944 until the surrender of the occupying German garrison on the 25th and is accounted as the last battle in the Campaign for Normandy and the transitional conclusion of the Allied invasion breakout in Operation Overlord into a broad-fronted general offensive. The capital region of France had been administered by Nazi Germany since the Second Compiègne armistice in June 1940 when Germany occupied the North and West of France and when the Vichy puppet regime was established with its capital in the central city of Vichy.

The liberation started with an uprising by the French Resistance against the German Paris garrison. On 24 August, the FFI resistances received backup from the Free French Army of Liberation and from the United States' 4th Infantry Division.

This battle marked the end of Operation Overlord, the liberation of France by the Allies, the restoration of the French Republic and the exile of the Vichy government to Sigmaringen in Germany.

巴黎解放战（也被称为巴黎战役）发生在二战期间1944年8月19日至25日德军投降，作为对诺曼底战役的最后一仗和二战的转折点，盟军发动了一次全面进攻。法国首都地区自从1940年6月第二次贡比涅停战协定签订就被纳粹德国控制着，当时德国占领了法国的北部和西部，维希傀儡政府也在这个时候的维希市成立。

解放战争首先由法国抵抗力量对德军发动的起义开始。 8月24日，法国抵抗力量得到法国自由解放军和美国第四步兵师的支援。

这一仗标志着诺曼底战役的结束，盟军解放法国，法兰西共和国恢复和维希政府灭亡。
