Two ladies get ready to entertain US troops in France a few weeks after D-Day in 1944. Almost immediately after getting a foothold in France, the US had showgirls entertain troops with songs and dancing. After the liberation of major cities, especially Paris, big name movie stars, comedians, and music acts came to entertain troops during USO shows. The Soviets also entertained their troops, normally with acrobatic routines or bands. The Germans also entertained their troops as well, but usually with organized events in occupied cities. Troop moral was vital by all parties in WWII, and keeping them entertained and knowing what the common soldier was fighting for was paramount. Each side did it in different ways, but it was done. The US just documented it much more during WWII due to the huge names involved.
