Download When Paris Went Dark: The City of Light under German Occupation, 1940-1944 AudioBook Free
The spellbinding and exposing chronicle of Nazi-occupied Paris. On June 14, 1940, German tanks moved into a silent and almost deserted Paris. Eight times later, France accepted a humiliating defeat and foreign job. Eventually, an eerie sense of normalcy settled over the City of Light. Many Parisians keenly designed themselves to the situation - even allied themselves with their Nazi overlords. At exactly the same time, amidst this darkening gloom of German ruthlessness, shortages, and curfews, a resistance arose. Parisians of all stripes-Jews, immigrants, children, communists, rightists, ethnical symbols such as Colette, de Beauvoir, Camus and Sartre, as well as cops, instructors, students, and store owners-rallied around just a little known French armed service official, Charles de Gaulle. When Paris Travelled Deep evokes with stunning precision the depth of daily life in a city under job, and the brave people who fought against the darkness. Counting on a variety of resources - memoirs, diaries, words, archives, interviews, personal histories, flyers and posters, fiction, photos, film and historical studies - Rosbottom has forged a groundbreaking audiobook that will forever influence how we understand those dark years in the City of Light.
