Which for country backed Nazi Germany out of Paris?

Question

In WWII, which country backed the Nazis out of Paris?
I know it was either the Canadians, the French, the Poles or the Americans. I'm pretty sure it might be the Poles and the Canadians, but I'm not 100% sure.

Answer 1

It was a combined effort, mostly Americans

Answer 2

This is a somewhat strange question. WWII was a global confilct like the world has never seen, the liberation of Paris was a combined effort of the allies TOGETHER to remove the NAZI aoccupation and libertae the country. US, UK, Candian and troopps from other countries all fought side by side in the war of liberation, as did the Free french army. The poeople of France and Paris in particular rose up against the NAZi and made life difficult for the occupiers during the allied advance, without their brave efforts it would have been a much more bloody and protracted affair. The Free French Army were the first to enter the capital, The German surrender of Paris (against Hitler's express command) was issued following heavy fighting with Leclerc's French 2nd Armored Division. It was right that they ntered their own Capital first. Without the combined effort of all the allies Paris and France would not have been libertated.

Such a question not only prompts ill founded American Jingoism, but is also a slight on all the brave men and women of evey nation who gave their life that we may be free.

Answer 3

I remember seeing an old news-clip of the armies coming into Paris. De Gaulle was in first as an honorary position, representing the French Resistance, but the Americans provided a lot of firepower. England provided the staging point.

Actually, the liberation was somewhat more complicated. It all started long before the invasion of Normandy. In 1943, the Allies listed a French division among the units earmarked to travel from England to the Continent. According to Allied planners, the reason was primarily so that there would be a major French formation present at the reoccupation of Paris. The 2nd French Armored Division was selected for the task. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, as supreme Allied commander, promised to use the division to liberate the capital.

Americans

Answer 5

Dietrich von Choltitz and 17,000 men under his command surrendered to French general Philippe Leclerc de Hautecloque and the Resistance leader Henri Rol-Tanguy at the Gare Montparnasse on 25 August 1944.

Looks like the French to me.

But why argue the British, French, Americans and others all fought as the Allies.
