As time entered October 1936, the dreaded event still occurred, France's capital, Paris, officially fell.
However, there was also a piece of good news, France had truly shed its bad reputation in history and was no longer the butt of jokes for surrendering before Paris fell.
Of course, the Germans paid a heavy price to breach Paris.
Britain, France, Australia, and Germany amassed over 4 million military troops near Paris. After a complete Battle of Paris, the losses of the four countries exceeded half, with close to 1 million British-French-Australian forces retreating south near Orleans.
The German attackers suffered even more dreadful losses, with the number of soldiers killed exceeding 800,000, nearly reaching a state where everyone was wounded.
The four nations had deployed over 5,000 airplanes in total in the vicinity of Paris, with more than 1,500 destroyed and over 2,000 damaged.
