Fall 1944

Allies cross the Seine south of Paris



In a plan to bypass the fortified city of Paris, the allies attack to the south in a sector just north of Troyes.

The are was well defended, but the vastly superior allied forces attacked under an air umbrella and overwhelmed the defense. Exploiting armor then went behind Paris and attacked the German forces defending the River Seine sector between Paris and the English Channel in the rear. The German forces attacked from both the front and rear soon surrendered



Canadian exploiting forces attacked South East towards Metz and Strasbourg completely isolating the German frontline in central France as well as Paris, while American forces have cut off supply to German forces defending the port of Calais and Dieppe
