The Eiffel Tower is the French landmark that people from every single country all over the world come to visit. France was under Nazi Germany for four years before they received their liberation on August 25, 1944, at the end of World War II. In fact Hitler had even ordered the tower to be destroyed as they burned the city to the ground, but instead, it was surrendered back to France. This photo shows American troops admiring it’s beauty on that day of liberation.
