After talking with General Koenig, General Eisenhower said, "Now it seems that we will have to enter Paris. Bradley and his intelligence director agree that we can and must drive into town. " General Eisenhower decided to send troops directly to Paris, but which troops to send to Paris first was a thorny issue. Because many troops have put forward requirements, it is regarded as an honor to enter Paris first, and the most popular one is the 2nd Armored Division of the French Army under the command of leclerc. After landing in northwest France with the allied forces in August 1, this division was incorporated into Barton's 3rd Army 15, participated in the siege of Farce, and joined forces with the Polish army in Chambwa. At this time, two divisions of the 15 army were ordered to advance toward Dele. De Gaulle ordered leclerc's 2nd Armored Division to quickly approach Paris, so the latter made a request to Barton, which was not approved. In this way, it was convenient for leclerc to leave the 3rd Army and join the 5th Army on August 1944. Then, de Gaulle instructed the French army to immediately advance to Paris, regardless of whether the Americans agreed or not. On August 2,1,1944, the 2nd Armored Division of the French Army was still located in the Aginting area, about 100 km away from the American vanguard. Leclerc ordered the troops to advance at full speed. If Eisenhower didn't agree to enter Paris directly, he would leave the nearest troops there. In view of this situation, especially in order to take care of the feelings of the French, General Eisenhower finally approved the French Second Armored Division to enter Paris for the first time. This order was conveyed by Bradley on August 22nd. Soon, the US 4th Division was also ordered to March along the southern part of the French capital, in order to seize the ferry of the Seine River south of Paris and occupy positions in the south and southeast.

The 28th American Infantry Division marched along the Champs Elysé es in Paris.
