message: When I scrolled through this article, the first thing that I noticed was that there are many small images, to a point where the article seems cluttered with them. Does anyone agree that several of the images are unnecessary and should be removed? —ems24 02:21, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Too many images? 

message: The sources used to "analyse" Choltitz' role during this battle are a joke, to say the least. I have a stack of copies from the original German war documents from the military archives in Freiburg and there is little to support the French version (as the article claims). For example, Choltitz explicitly ordered not to destroy any food "as a matter of principle" on 18 August 1944. But some poorly researched and politically motivated TV documentary seems to be a far more reliable source.
Besides, it is not true that Choltitz has still an overall positive image in Germany. Recently, it has become public that he admitted to have executed Jews on the Eastern Front. But it is also true that he was in much closer contact with the German military resistance against Hitler than we had previously known. In summary, Choltitz was neither a hero nor a pure Nazi war criminal. Please see the results from Sönke Neitzel, Taping Hitler's Generals, with Choltitz' eavesdropped conversations in captivity.
This Wiki article definitely needs some improvement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.158.10.31 (talk) 13:45, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spanish Republicans. 

message: It is reported tens of thousands of ethnic French, either are expatriates holding dual nationality in other countries (mainly neutral or not involved in the war) and children of French citizens overseas, participated in the Liberation of Paris. One example was Mexican-born Rene Luis Campeon, a lieutanant, was thought as the first French Free Forces person to entered the city of Paris in the Liberation process. Some of the diaspora loyal to their countryment in France came from Australia, Southern Africa and South America. They entered France in secret or in safety by international agreements from Britain although a few came through Switzerland and Spain, then to encountered the civilian Resistance whom were in contact with the exiled Free French. This is alike the numerous stories of French, British and American volunteers on both sides of the Spanish Civil War, especially the British-born George Orwell whom fought for the Spanish Republican side as a devoted socialist will later become a political novelist author. 71.102.26.168 (talk) 03:47, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edited for grammar 

message: It's utter nonsense.  It should describe what happened at the surrender, not be a character assassination of a dead man.  I cleaned up some of the ridiculous stuff, but I think it should be rewritten completely.

thread_title:  Liberation or conquest? 

message: The article refers to a "Capitaine Serge" who was responsible for betraying a group of FFI members who were shot in the Bois de Boulogne, and links the name to Jacques Desoubrie. The traitor is not named in the source given, and Desoubrie is not identified as Capitaine Serge in his article. Neither is there any mention on that page of a link between Desoubrie and the massacre in the Bois de Boulogne. In fact the only mention that I can find of a Capitaine Serge as a Gestapo informant is in the cast of "Paris brûle-t-il ?". Can anyone clarify? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 17:41, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch. There is nothing to support that in the Sarkozy speech cited at the end of the sentence, which had been present since it had first been added by  in this 2007 edit. The original unsourced addition of Serge's name was by Blue Indigo in this edit in April, 2019, and it was compounded by User:SRFerg in this edit in August 2022. I've removed these edits.
