歷史今天:1944年盟軍解放巴黎(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.

【中文譯文】

巴黎解放戰（也被稱爲巴黎戰役）發生在二戰期間1944年8月19日至25日德軍投降，作爲對諾曼底戰役的最後一仗和二戰的轉折點，盟軍發動了一次全面進攻。法國首都地區自從1940年6月第二次貢比涅停戰協定簽訂就被納粹德國控制着，當時德國佔領了法國的北部和西部，維希傀儡政府也在這個時候的維希市成立。

解放戰爭首先由法國抵抗力量對德軍發動的起義開始。 8月24日，法國抵抗力量得到法國自由解放軍和美國第四步兵師的支援。

這一仗標誌着諾曼底戰役的結束，盟軍解放法國，法蘭西共和國恢復和維希政府滅亡。
