On this day in 1940, the Germans took control of Paris. Here is a British Movietone report about the bombardment of Paris.
Much damage was done and many fires were started and more than two hundred and fifty people killed.
Various shots of the damage. Houses have been wrecked and fires blaze. A lorry burns furiously and a charred relic of a car is by the roadside. In the fields, animals lie dead. Firemen fight to control the blaze.
