and bombardment, bombing of various parts of france, took place all over france because if the auria for americans bombed just normandy, that would give germans the belief that the invasion was going to come there. in fact, the french expected it to come farther east than it did. so they had an idea of where it was going to be, but they actually didn't expect it to be in normandy. >> mary louise roberts is our guest. she's history professor at the university of wisconsin at madison. author of the book "d-day through french eyes." that's our focus for the last part of our program this morning is the experience of french norman citizens and the initial invasion of d-day. 202-748-4,000 if you're living in eastern and central final zones that's the line to use. 202-7 202-7 202-748-4001 for mountain pacific. those with french ancestry, french americans, 202-748-8002. particular interested if you have stories of ancestors who lived in normandy or france at the time of the invasion. just reminders of the time line, june 6th, 1944. but the original invasion was postponed the day before. 75 d

france is starving. the allies recruiting french teenagers and old farmers to fight for the resistance could actually feed them. they are getting food dropped from the sky, and so this became -- they needed a lot of female traits to do this job. i don't know that they were better, but they were sort of more naturally equipped, and they taught the allies that in fact this was a very important part of the job that was being invented on the ground. this was the first time this kind of warfare had ever been tried. there were no plans. they discovered that was a really important job for a spy and women were really good at it. other questions. yes? >> how did you come across this story in the first place? >> okay, i'm a reporter, and i had been doing a lot of freelance work, and i knew i wanted a book. i knew i wanted to sink my teeth into a long project. i'd been doing a lot of the sprint, where you hit send and something ends in the paper the next day. and i wanted the marathon again. this was in 2015. i kne

to france. france. macron, chinant was not on the official agenda, but it was certainly a big part of discussions here at the g7. the tradencerned that war that exists now between the united states and china could harm the global economy? if you are, did you talk to president trump about that? are you also concerned that if china's current trade practices go unchecked, that a decade from now, we could be in a very terrible situation? on this subject, we obviously had lengthy discussions. during the session on the world economy yesterday morning, on both subjects. the discussion is underway between china and united states of america, obviously, as we clearly see, creates uncertainty which disturbs markets and investors, and during the negotiations were, will create tensions. we saw this on different stock markets with which we are familiar. now the question is to know what the result of these discussions will be. it was why we considered so important an agreement be found between the two greatest economi

france twenty four here brian with this. there's hope for those wanting at the taunts between the us and iran. donald trump who withdrew the united states from the iran nuclear deal last year has been reticent about thehe idea of entering into dialogugue with sharon. but off the surprise meeting between emmanuel mackerel on the iranian foreign minister of the g. seven summits h his tone has changed. and i. spoke to president mcgraw yesterday and. i do everything he was doing. and i approve whatever he was doing and i thought it was fine and- i think it's too soon to me i didn't want to me. i said i don't want to be. yeah but it's trueue give me time to meet with iran and is going to be a great thing for around them a great potential. u. s. president insisted he wasn't surprised or angered by the meeting and said he was united with the other g. seven leaders in wanting a wrong without nuclear weapons. to ron meanwhile hinted that it was willing to calm tensions rag adam and bid on them. if i knew that i was going to have a me

what could france achieve from behavior like this now in the importance of france russia. from the story clearly has been one of the key partners in europe and around the world. who we are. were the allies in the war against germany in world war 2 and next year the french president will come to the celebrations. i would like to thank him for accepting the invitation but our relationship with france says far deeper roots france is also a permanent member of this human security council has a nuclear arsenal and. does play a very important role in international affairs. and the relationship between russia and the you to a large extent depend on that we know what is the decision making process there parts france to support and many issues. particularly on the return of russia to the council of europe has played a role and a major role perhaps even a critical role in that. so i don't think we need any additional evidence that we value our competition with france and again talk about the economy $500.00 companies from france operates in russia i like to assure you that their pre

most of france was starving by the end of the war. one french writer said the sound of france was the sound of a growling stomach. and again this is because the germans took most of the produce and most of the wine. there were always things that were buried in order to save them for the liberation, the much beloved bottle of wine. one young man when he met an african-american g.i. brought him up back and dug out his jazz records in order to show him how much he loved american music. it was a great period of great deprivation and continued for another year. the winter of 44 4445 was still quite hard because by then france was largely destroyed. there were towns which the french called martyred. these towns were 80% destroyed. so life is very hard during the war for the french. most people think the french were collaborators, that they lived off of the fat of the land. if you lived in the city it was harder than when you lived in the country because you couldn't grow your own food but the war was hard on the french and humiliating to be

of france and dumped in a concentration camp in france called the gers camp in the shadow of the pyranees. in posed a clalg to u.s. policy. because when the jews arrived in france, the frefrm didn't want him imthem, the vishty french led mri marshal patan. they immediately turned for the ups and said to the u.s. government they noted that fdr talked a lot about resolving this tackling in refugee crisis. and they said that the u.s. should be willing to put -- to take action to support the rhetoric. and accept their fair share of jews expelled from nazi germany. but the state department recommended f.d.r. that he turn the french request down. the reason given was that if the german government succeeds in expelling, deporting in group of jews they will try the same trick in other parts of germany. they will repeat epgtically cleansing. it they have ethnically cleansed this part of germany. they will ethnically cleanse other parts of germany. with hindsight we can say it would have been a good idea to expel all the jewish population but we didn't know this at the time, because this is before

a growing number of jews in france no longer feel safe there thousands have already emigrated. excuse the brig's do we really have to flee to you to understand it isn't. just because we're jews. it makes me want to cry. and then. we give the victims of the virus and accompany them to the police. we also provide them with a lawyer and psychological counseling were necessary. to see what he said for. ringback an afternoon in november some egos learn and his wife winnie have just landed at child of god airport in their old hometown paris. 4 years ago the couple immigrated to israel after so many had received a series of death threats but he comes back to france every few weeks for the 77 year old former policeman the fight against anti-semitism has become a personal mission. of. this time they will be spending a whole week in paris well monique will be enjoying time with their grandchildren sunny as always has no end of appointments he spent months planning a meeting for victims of anti-semitic attacks. so you prefer course that of course my family would prefer me to stay home. bu

., germany and france whose actions had a direct impact on the fates of these families. by publishing this book in association with kinopf, they're helping readers understand the human impact of these american responses on the mothers, fathers and children caught in the crosshairs of nazi brutality. as they desperately sought to obtain an immigration visa. so it is now my pleasure to introduce the author of "the unwanted," michael dobbs. he's a writer and researcher with the u.s. holocaust memorial museum. a longtime "washington post" reporter working as a foreign correspondent around the world. he's also written many, many books, including "six months in 1945" from world war to cold war. and one minute to midnight about the cuban missile crisis. delighted to be here and delighted to welcome michael dobbs. [ applause ] >> thank you very much, andres and marvin, for your kind remarks. so perhaps i should tell you a little bit about the title and subtitle. actually finding a title was very difficult because you have to compress the entire theme of 300-page book into two or

the position of france. i would like to remind you of on the i.m.f. treaty as i said earlier like to reiterate it once again here in france. we will take up a commitment you know actual commitment. if the u.s. does go ahead it. does go ahead with these plans then we will deploy them to. unless the us deploys them these missiles in a particular region we will not deploy our missiles there too so far we have not heard any response to it it seems that we are being ignored but i think the europeans are interested in having this dialogue in having that response from the us. would also discuss regional conflicts.

a world war ii unit that fought in italy, southern france. it is a largely overshadowed unit of a war because it was smaller, about 2500 men throughout the war. it was comprised of three smaller units. the 596 airborne engineer company. 460th air battalion. those three units together made that regimental combat team, which the entire campaign was attaching larger divisions where they were needed throughout the war. we are representing them during their maritime alps campaign in the south of france near the italian border. they were test with protecting the right flank of the main advance of the rome river valley. that came from the operation dragoon campaign in august 1944. the second invasion of france, overshadowed by operation overlord, the normandy operation. both operations were designed to take place simultaneously. they were codenamed hammer and the anvil. fortunately, due to lack of landing craft and aircraft, higher command was unable to have both operations at the same time. normandy would be the more important operation as we know

but how does france monitor the use of arms that it sells. like you. with the french government fail to respond to repeated questions on the matter. its sole official response to the issue of arms exports. i report to parliament issued every year. since you left do you visit down south to see that. seal so you get to the we can't tickle me down with the stuff with the stuff he was going to say but that would be a catalyst to nearly triple i suppose a point i made. because i don't necessarily journal the issue i went on i did offer muscle but she recovered but i pulled i just shot this ocean polluted us i want you to call the south koreans and all of us but who want us for that is what we said yeah sure but the city is it will point to it we're safe and a company. that will question you asked me whatever you know the longest walk. every other year french arms manufacturers gather outside paris in veal ponds to show off their newest and best armaments. along with us u.k. and german manufacturers they supply the saudi arabia led coalition in yemen with th

france and germany complicit. a majority of the victims of this war are civilians every day families fleeing the fighting poor into the region's biggest hospital in also the ca. most of the hospitals in rebel held areas have been destroyed so wounded civilians like these 3 women and their babies flock here they're from her data a city near the frontline. that. the city of st. augustine 50000 so most of them. is a 6 month old babies mother she and her husband have been shuttled from camp to camp to escape the bombing with no need to feed their 6 children and for the past 3 years. there hasn't been to see any money time and again and not let them fight it like this if this is the mindset that i think. we learned that. really and then that i learned this as i think. now the hoodie thing. for a long time and then the other hand have i think one of our that sell their one. and they're the one i had them with and then had the wooden and cat and if we had 7 that had the one that i have that has 7 and 8 that i got. one of

and of course do you stand by france if the u.s. impose a star if. you will respond in kind the law think we need to be. gone from nation specially with our best ally the united states but of course. this is not our initiative this is trade center of struggle but we have to be ready for this but you know and we are ready james president trying got straight down to work upon his arrival here to coffee with president mccraw of france what was your reading of the body language there. well i see the suspect things like that possible escalation of a trade war between france and the us is one of the reasons why president mccraw was very keen to have president trump here we know the u.s. president wasn't particularly keen to come to this but also to have him here 1st and sit down with him before any of the other leaders try and get him on the same page president michel has seen what's happened at previous g. 7 summits he's seen what president trump can do he knows i suspect from reading twitter in recent days that president trump seems to be in somewhat of

stands by france, this is a quote, if the u.s. imposes tariffs on france, the e.u. will respond in kind. so we wonder if this will be the start of another trade war. if the president then follows through with his response to the digital taxes that could be leveed by france. we'll continue to watch what's happening there in biarritz. >>> president trump also said that russia should be admitted to the g7. remember, russia was disinvited from the gatherings, i'd say, dropped from the g8 to the g7 after the country's annexation of crimea, something the group stillness is a violation of internal law. i asked the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, steven peifer, about the president's remarks. should russia be readmitted to the g7? >> no, i believe it would be a mistake to readmit russia back into the format unless there is some effort by russia to resolve the conflict with ukraine. back in 2014, the leaders of the united states, britain, france, germany, italy, canada, and japan said that russia's out because of its invasion of ukraine. that hasn't changed. there should b

they attack france in 1940. and the loss of france is a complete shock to the united states. begins to bring the united states out of its complacency. not out of its isolationism. congress and the american people wanted absolutely nothing to do with the war in europe. but congress understands that they got to begin preparing for war. and so the louisiana maneuvers held in 1940 and 1941 were designed to see how well the army performed. and the answer was not well. the exercises that revealed a number of equipment problems such as iron pipes being labeled cannons. and trucks being labeled tanks. and single seat biplanes being labeled bombers. the army was not only understaffed. there were about 20 0,000 soldiers total in the army at this point. we also had a number of equipment problems, as you can see. marshall determined it's time to start building up the army. in october of 1940 after this first series of exercises, marshall and the president go to congress, and enact the selective service act bringing 900,000 draftees into the army and also activating the national guard. so
