When the German army occupied Paris in June 1940, a large American community awaited them. They had chosen to stay in the city, against the American Embassy's advice, and those who remained were an eccentric, original and disparate group. Among them were millionaire Charles Bedaux, who had hosted the Duke of Windsor's wedding in 1937; Countess Longworth de Chambrun, desperate to keep the American Library open; Dr. Sumner Jackson, the American Hospital's chief surgeon; and Sylvia Beach, owner of the famous bookshop, Shakespeare and Company. As citizens of a neutral nation, the Americans believed they had little to fear.
They were wrong.
