parade
Hello!
Actually it was 18.Armee with XXXX.A.K. which marched into Paris on 14.June.
From my site:
XXXX.A.K.:
87.Inf.Div., 9.Inf.Div.: reached Paris and the southern suburbs
87.Inf.Div.: marches into Paris. First unit in the morning is Pz.Jg.Abt.187. Gef.Std. of the Pz.Jg.Abt.187 is in the Invalidendom. 1.Kp. occupies the barracks at the Champ de Mars and the area around the Eifel-tower. 3./PJA.187 secure the governemental district and post sentries on the Quai d´Orsay. 2./PJA.187 secures the City hall suqare. At 12:00 the Heresgruppe receives the message that Paris is in german hands.
The parade was done by elements of the 19.Inf.Div. and probably elements of 87. and 9.ID also on 16.June 1940.
