Who is Dietrich von Choltitz — HISTORY WITH DR. WHALEY

Who is Diet­rich von Choltitz? Choltitz is chiefly remem­bered for his role as the last com­man­der of Nazi-occu­pied Paris in 1944, when he alleged­ly dis­obeyed Adolf Hitler’s orders to destroy the city, and instead sur­ren­dered it to Free French forces when they entered the city on 25 August.
