- W62842117 abstract "France was liberated by force of arms: those of the French Resistance, but also, on an altogether larger scale, by those of the Allies. On 6 June 1944, 156,000 British and American troops landed on five beaches in Normandy. For seven weeks they were largely confined to a narrow coastal belt. But after the 1st US Army broke through at Avranches late in July, German defences in Normandy collapsed in less than three weeks. On 18 August, the internal Resistance, grouped as the Forces Françaises de l’Intérieur (FFI), which had harassed German forces across France since June, felt strong enough to launch an insurrection in Paris. Six days later General Leclerc’s French Second Armoured Division, which had landed in Normandy on 1 August, led the Allies into the capital. De Gaulle would walk triumphantly down the Champs-Élysées on 26 August. Meanwhile French and American armies landed in southern France on 15 August, secured Marseilles and Grenoble within eight days, and joined northern Allied forces in Dijon on 11 September. Fierce battles remained to be fought in the Vosges, Alsace, and the Ardennes, and a few coastal garrisons held out against the Allies till 9 May 1945; these aside, the end of September saw France’s territory freed. Between D-day and late August, over 238,000 Allied soldiers and airmen, as well as several thousand FFI combatants and over 30,000 French civilians, had been killed or wounded or gone missing.1" @default.
