Historical Background:
In the evening of 24th of August 1944, a detachment under the command of captain Dronne, vanguard of the 2nd French Armored Division, reached the Hôtel de Ville of Paris. The next morning, the whole Division entered in Paris. With the support of local French resistance, the units of the Leclerc Division attacked all German defensive positions in the capital. Combat Command Billotte attacked towards Hôtel Meurice which was the headquarters of German general von Choltitz, in order to obtain the surrender of the whole German garrison called "Gross Paris". A battle occurred in the area Place de la Concorde - Jardin des Tuileries - Rue de Rivoli. At 17h00, general von Choltitz signed the order of surrender of the whole garrison in the command post of general Leclerc at Gare Montparnasse. That was the liberation of Paris.
