In July 1944, Operation Cobra broke the stalemate in Normandy and sent the Allies racing across France. The Allied commanders had ignored Paris in their planning for this campaign, considering that the risk of intense street fighting and heavy casualties outweighed the city's strategic importance. French political pressure, combined with a popular uprising in the city, persuaded the Allied commanders to take direct action to liberate the city. The operations of Patton's Third Army advanced towards Paris, as well as the actions of the Resistance forces inside the city and of the Free French armored division fought its way in and joined up with them to liberate it on August 24.
