25. august 1944 rullet de franske og amerikanske divisjonene inn i Paris. De svette og slitne soldatene ble kysset og fikk overrakt blomster og vin. Hitlers guvernør hadde overgitt seg, og nazistenes svarte og røde hakekorsflagg ble skiftet ut med trikoloren på alle offisielle bygninger etter hvert som befrierne nedkjempet tyske soldater som hadde forskanset seg rundt om i byen. Resten av landet var likevel ikke befridd, og i resten av Europa raste krigen fremdeles. Tidlig om morgenen 16. desember brøt helvete løs i Ardennene i Belgia.
