古德明《征服英语》之英语军事故事,古德明,香港英语教育作家,他开了一个《征服英语专栏》,在专栏中专门用英语写了世界近代史上的军事小故事,用英语讲述历史中那些惊心动魄的战争。开 始 火 烧 巴 黎 了 吗 ?

on 23 august 1944, while allied forces were rolling through france, general dietrich von choltitz, the german military governor of paris, received direct orders from hitler to destroy the city: "the city must not fall into the enemy's hand except lying in complete debris."

after much rumination, von choltitz decided that he did not want to go down in history as the man who destroyed paris. so he got a message to the allies asking them to invade paris within 48 hours, or he would be forced to carry out his orders. the german ambassador helped by sending a telegram to berlin protesting von choltitz's "brutality". that convinced berlin he was being tough and bought him the extra time needed. a common account holds that, shortly before von choltitz and 17000 men under his command surrendered to the allies on 25 august, hitler phoned him in a rage, screaming, "is paris burning?"
