Raoul Palmer, World War II, and Transabdominal Coelioscopy. Laparoscopy Extends into Gynecology
نویسنده
چکیده
World War II began on September 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. By early May 1940, German troops had overrun the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg; soon thereafter Germany broke through the French defensive forces near Sedan. Political lethargy, a poor communication system and many mistakes accelerated the downfall of the French army. By the end of May approximately 350,000 French solders were trapped in Dunkirk. The French army surrendered. Paris was declared an "open city" and the French government abandoned the metropolis. On June 14, German troops occupied Paris without a struggle, the opening moment of what would be a fouryear German occupation.
