Liberated August 25, 1944... and they still owe us money ! 😉
On June 14, 1940, Parisians awaken to the sound of a German-accented voice announcing via loudspeakers that a curfew was being imposed for 8 p.m. that evening as German troops enter and occupy Paris !
My Dad, a member of Patton's 3rd was there:
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

Can you imagine waking up to something like that? I fear we get closer and closer every day.
Lots of places had a curfew imposed during covid. Was an American politician's voice though.
