Germans capture Paris

Friday, June 14, 1940 www.onwar.com

On the Western Front... Paris falls to the Germans. New instructions are issued to the German armies. While most of the armored forces are to continue their advance into the center of the country, Guderian’s two corps are to swing east to cut off any attempt by the Maginot garrisons to retreat. Army Group C, General Leeb, attacks and breaks through the Maginot defenses in some places.

In the Mediterranean... A force of French cruisers and destroyers shells the Italian ports of Genoa and Vado.
