The rise and fall of the Nazi State Part IV: From Triumphs to Retreat U.S. Soldiers Arrive in Paris Cheared by thousands of newly liberated Parisians, U.S. soldiers march through the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysees after Allied forces had forced the Germans to evacuate the French capital in August, 1944. Fully equiped for Battle, the men are on the way to the front where they chased the retreating Nazi forces through Northern France and across the bordor into German. On August 15, new Allied landings were made in the south of France and the other Allied forces in driving the German invaders from French soil. Some few pockets of Nazi resistance located around northern and western French seaports were surrounded, by-passed and left to surrender eventually. The main body of the Allied forces fought onward, clearing Belgium, part of the Netherlands and advancing toward the Rhino River.
