Parisian women steal pleasure places, preferring to go to the cinema rather than to the hotel; Because the cinema is cheap and the place is dark, there is no need to register the names of the residents. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they even sneak into catacombs and bomb shelters *** In fact, any place can become a place where pornography is rampant.

The book argues that war, like an aphrodisiac, stimulates lust, and people need to use lovemaking to prove that they are still alive.

Coincidentally, a month ago, Paris held a photo exhibition of its wartime history, in which Parisians enjoyed life under the control of Nazi Germany, with brightly dressed citizens shopping on boulevards, walking in parks, nightclubs packed to the brim, and women even swimming in the pool in bikinis.

This new book unravels the scars of the French and sets off their painful memories. The French newspaper Le Monde condemned the author, Bisson, for portraying the fallen Paris as a "lascivious capital". Other media even criticized him for focusing only on "under the belt" and not reporting the content of the report enough.

……

Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin all believed that after the Allies successfully opened up the second battlefield, they were very confident that the days of German fascism were coming to an end, and even if the Soviet Union at this time, there were still more than a million troops surrounded in Moscow waiting to be encircled and annihilated, it still could not dispel Stalin's optimism.

The situation in Germany also suddenly became tense, and the Gestapo arrested people every day, but it was still impossible to put an end to some rumors that Germany was about to end, and even some high-ranking German generals, because they did not know Rommel's secret plan, were also worried every day, and even began to prepare to flee abroad.

Rommel, of course, was unmoved, but secretly sent several telegrams in succession to several major generals at the front, asking about some of the more than a dozen situations on the front.

After a few days of rest in Paris, the Allies quickly advanced on the Maginot Line, which was known for its fortification, and behind the Maginot Line was the German Siegfried Line.

Although Eisenhower knew that the Germans had a large number of troops here, he had to take all the Allied forces with him and stopped when the Allies reached 150 kilometers from the Maginot Line.

In the general headquarters of the German Western Front, Rommel was carefully studying the map, the Allied offensive was fast, the vanguard had entered Belgium, the route of the Allied attack was only 250 kilometers away from the Ardennes Forest, fortunately the Allies did not intend to pass through the Ardennes Forest.

The Ardennes has been a strategic location in Central Europe since ancient times, covering an area of about 10,000 square kilometers in southeastern Belgium, northern Luxembourg and northeastern France.

Because there are many forests here, and the roads are steep and difficult to navigate, Eisenhower did not plan to take the offensive route of the Ardennes Forest, otherwise Rommel's big pocket tactics would have gone bankrupt.

"Marshal Paulus, come and see, hundreds of thousands of Allied troops have now entered Belgium, and I guess they want to attack the Netherlands, and then bypass the Maginot Line and the Siegfried Line from the Netherlands, and directly attack the German mainland, since these Allied forces want to find death, I plan to fulfill them.

Now I order you to freely mobilize the garrisons in Holland and Belgium to strike at these daring Allied forces, and these bridges will be the focus of the Allied contention.

They will definitely send a large number of paratroopers for a surprise attack, don't we have a couple of SS Panzer divisions that are resting? Now I'll give you command and teach them a hard lesson!

……

Eisenhower knew that it would be unwise to attack a fortified fortress like the Maginot Line with his flesh and blood, so Eisenhower planned to avoid attacking the Maginot Line and the Siegfried Line, as Germany had done in the German invasion of France, from Belgium to Holland and then into Germany.

To realize this strategic vision, Eisenhower developed the "Market Garden Initiative."

The tactical thrust of the operation was to capture a series of bridges over the main rivers in the Netherlands that were still under German control through the largest airborne surprise attack in history, combined with the rapid movement of armored forces on the ground.

The strategic goal was to seize control of these bridges and allow the Allies to cross the Rhine, the last natural barrier on the German border, and end World War II in a short period of time, while the Germans were still on their feet.

After the Allies landed in Normandy to open up the second battlefield, in order to defeat Germany as soon as possible, the Allied 3rd Army led by Patton took the lead in breaking out of the Normandy area and began a great pursuit of the German army on the French plain.

In order to detour the Siegfried Line from the north and take the Ruhr region of Germany in order to "end the war by Christmas", Eisenhower's "Market Garden" plan was ready to be implemented.

The aim was to seize a series of important bridges across the Rhine, Waal and other rivers, and then penetrate from the Netherlands into the heart of Germany, with the aim of ending the European theater of war by Christmas 1941.

At the same time, the 35,000-strong airborne troops of the 101st Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st British Airborne Division and the Polish Paratroop Brigade used leapfrog tactics to parachute into Eindhoven (Eindhoven, Nhoven), Nijmegen (Njmegen) and Arnhem (Anheng) in the depth of the 63-mile campaign to seize bridges over the Rhine.

After the Normandy landings, the Allied airborne troops suffered heavy losses and had to be reorganized into the Allied 1st Airborne Corps, which had three American airborne divisions, two British airborne divisions, and an independent paratrooper brigade of the Polish Army.

In order for all the airborne troops involved in the European theater to operate under a unified command, General Eisenhower agreed to this idea on June 20, 1941.

The entire Market Garden action can be divided into two parts:

Market Operations: Refers to the operations of the Airborne Forces, with the Allied 1st Airborne Corps responsible for capturing bridges and adjacent areas in the Rhine Valley.

Operation Garden: Ground forces led by the British 2nd Army advance northward, with the British 30th Army as the vanguard.

The forces involved in Operation Market were three of the five divisions of the Allied 1st Airborne Corps, namely Major General Taylor's 101st Airborne Division, which was scheduled to land north of the British 30th Army and was responsible for capturing the bridge northwest of Eindhoven and the Fehel Bridge in the Soon area, and the distance between the 101st Airborne Division and the 30th Army was also the closest of the three airborne divisions.

The second furthest is by James? Brigadier General Gavin's 82nd Airborne Division, which landed northeast of the British 30th Army, attacked Hravo and the Nijmegen Bridge.

Major General Uquet's British 1st Airborne Division and the Polish Separate Paratrooper Brigade landed at Arnhem, the farthest north of the 30th Army and the terminus of the 30th Army. The British 1st Airborne Division had to occupy the road bridge at Arnhem as well as the railway bridge at Ousterbeck. (To be continued.) )
