Era : Contemporary Era
The city of Constance, on the Swiss border, was captured by the French 1st Army on 26 and 27 April 1945 without major resistance. The city, fearing destructive fighting, negotiated a swift surrender with French officers. The German forces present, disorganized and demoralized, offered only weak resistance, facilitating the strategic capture of this border point.
At the end of March 1945, the French 1st Army crossed the Rhine at Germersheim and Speyer, after having secured Alsace. This amphibious operation marked the entry of French troops into German territory, a first since 1918. Under the command of General de Lattre, engineers crossed the river under enemy fire, supported by effective artillery and aviation.
From 18 to 22 April 1945, French troops of the 1st Army, commanded by General de Lattre de Tassigny, stormed Stuttgart, the capital of Württemberg. The city was heavily bombed and partially defended by disorganized German troops. This operation marked a significant moment in the French reconquest of Germany and the direct participation of French colonial troops in a major strategic victory.
