I've got a few short broadcasts today.

First we have the German announcement the French resistance has collapsed and Paris is an Open City. It's in German with a translation about half way through.

CBS - Rebroadcasts Nazi Announcement

Next is the announcement by the Germans of the fall of Paris with no translation.

RRG - Nazi Radio Announces Fall of Paris

Finally, I have the last broadcast from Marseilles before Paris falls to the Germans. Fitting of a last act of defiance, their last broadcast is the French National Anthem.
