Paris War Days

By Charles Inman Barnard

Book Overview

Paris War Days is a historical account of the German occupation of Paris during World War II, written by Charles Inman Barnard. The book provides a detailed and vivid description of the daily life of Parisians during the occupation, including the shortages of food and fuel, the curfews and restrictions on movement, and the constant fear of arrest or deportation. Barnard also covers the role of the French Resistance and the efforts of ordinary citizens to resist the occupation. The book is based on Barnard's personal experiences as a journalist in Paris during the war, as well as interviews with other eyewitnesses and extensive research. It offers a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in French history and provides a valuable insight into the resilience and courage of the people of Paris during this dark time.There is news of stupendous importance in the official announcement that Germany is employing the bulk of her twenty-six army corps against France and Belgium between Liege and Luxemburg. The disappearance of the German first line troops from the Russian frontier is now explained. By flinging this immense force upon France, Germany gains an advantage of numbers.
