That last part involve that,the liberation of Paris is responsible for "far beyond couting death" Complete nonsence! Operation Market Garden is just another failure from Monty,battle of the Bulge is just another almost succes from Hitler. What in the world as the Hurtgen massacre to do with the liberation of Paris ?? And it get worse,the allied knew well before even landing in France about the death camp,and they did nothing about it. So dont link the liberation of Paris with more death in the death camp or whatever,it's just wrong,and insulting! I demand that the last paragraph be modified or plainly removed. Un Parisien. Ps:no need to tell me it's because the fuel reserve were depleted,they were going to be depleted ANYWAY. It's a common mistake for invading army to stretch the supplying line too much,Napoleon,Hitler,Joukov AND Ike did the same mistake. What a crappy ending for an article that was overall accurate.

It would have been nice to add what happened to Choltitz afterwards. Presumably he survived the war. A lot of new information, for me. Some of it surprising. Useful to have some references. A friend of mine was a sergeant in the Leclerc's DDB and present at the surrender in the Hotel Meurice. Apparently one of his men, a private was sneered at by a German officer for participating in the surrender procedure and promptly received a helmet head butt in belly as a reply. He told me lots of minor stories like this. His name was Charles Pomerat. He gave me a copy of a photograph where he is in one of a series a half-tracks lined up for inspection by de Gaulle near the Arc de Triomphe.
