War Stories Iii
“They were words none of Allied generals encouraged—but after the liberation of Paris on 25 August, more than a few GIs expressed words like these. The once mighty Wehrmacht was on the run.

With all of Belgium and Luxembourg liberated, the Allies had a continuous front from the English Channel to the Swiss border.MoreLess
