Read Taking Pairs: The Epic Battle for the City of Lights by Martin Dugard this week. Solid book, not super in depth, but did a nice job hitting major events and giving various perspectives of many of those involved. I did like that it had some information from the perspective from Charles de Gaulle however. I don't know a whole lot about him because he seems to often get glossed over in many WWII books. Going to read Taking Berlin by the same author this week.

Short, simple, easy reads. More like good introductions into the major events/points of each topic, not really a deep dive or anything new.
