Liberation of Paris

[Audio Transcript translated from French]

Here is Marcel Ouimet from Radio-Canada talking to you from Paris. Yes, from a finally completely liberated Paris. And I really don’t know how to start telling you everything we’ve seen and heard. Since yesterday afternoon, we have gone through so much. Through the full range of emotions. The welcome from the people of Paris has been amazing. The joy of the people – a real explosion. Four years and two months they waited, to no longer hear the cadenced step of Hitler’s troops but the entry of the Allies. Their joy – the population of Paris expressed it in an almost unbelievable way. In the morning, the people had left their houses to cheer to all who passed by.
