I heard this story once about when the Germans were occupying Paris

00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:06.729

and they had to retreat back

00:00:06.965 --> 00:00:08.842

They wired Notre Dame to blow

00:00:09.001 --> 00:00:13.165

but they had to leave one guy in charge of hitting the switch

00:00:13.513 --> 00:00:16.471

And the guy the soldier he couldn't do it

00:00:16.766 --> 00:00:20.315

He just sat there knocked out by how beautiful the place was

00:00:20.645 --> 00:00:22.442

Then when the Allied troops came in

00:00:22.689 --> 00:00:26.002

they found all the explosives lying there and the switch unturned

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.874

and they found the same thing at the Sacré Coeur Eiffel Tower

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.391

couple other places I think

00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:34.534

Is that true

00:00:34.784 --> 00:00:37.742

I don't know I always liked the story though

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.834

سمعت قصة عن أن الألمان حين احتلوا باريس

00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:06.729

ثم وجب عليهم أن ينسحبوا مجددا

00:00:06.965 --> 00:00:08.842

قاموا بزرع المتفجرات في الكنيسة

00:00:09.001 --> 00:00:13.165

لكن شخصا واحدا كان عليه أن يبقى كي يضغط زر المفج ر

00:00:13.513 --> 00:00:16.471

وذلك الشاب الجندي لم يستطع القيام بذلك

00:00:16.766 --> 00:00:20.315

لقد جلس مذهولا بروعة المكان

00:00:20.645 --> 00:00:22.442

ثم حين وصل جنود الحلفاء

00:00:22.689 --> 00:00:26.002

وجدوا المتفجرات في مكانها والزر كما هو لم يلمس

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.874

ووجدوا الأمر نفسه في الساكري كير وبرج إيفيلل

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.391

وعد ة أماكن أخرى على ما أظن

00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:34.534

هل هذه قصة حقيقية

00:00:34.784 --> 00:00:37.742

لست أدري ومع ذلك فقد أحببت الحكاية

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.993

J'ai entendu dire que quand Ies AIIemands occupaient Paris

00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:09.013

et qu'iIs ont dû se repIier iIs avaient prévu de faire expIoser Notre Dame

00:00:09.308 --> 00:00:13.335

IIs ont Iaissé un soIdat chargé de presser Ie détonateur

00:00:13.512 --> 00:00:16.572

Et ce type Ie soIdat iI n'a pas pu Ie faire

00:00:16.749 --> 00:00:20.048

II est resté assis Ià frappé par Ia beauté de I'endroit

00:00:20.653 --> 00:00:22.678

Quand Ies troupes aIIiées sont arrivées

00:00:22.855 --> 00:00:26.188

iIs ont trouvé Ies expIosifs posés Ià avec Ie détonateur

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.998

IIs ont trouvé Ia même chose au Sacré C ur à Ia Tour EiffeI

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.494

et dans queIques autres endroits

00:00:32.665 --> 00:00:34.599

C'est vrai

00:00:34.767 --> 00:00:37.861

Je ne sais pas Mais j'ai toujours aimé I'histoire

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.996

Ich hab gehört als die Deutschen Paris besetzt hatten

00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:06.798

und dann raus mussten

00:00:06.965 --> 00:00:08.925

dass sie Notre Dame sprengen wollten

00:00:09.001 --> 00:00:13.346

Aber sie mussten einen da lassen der die Sprengsätze zündet

00:00:13.513 --> 00:00:16.599

Und der Typ der Soldat der konnte das nicht

00:00:16.766 --> 00:00:20.478

Er war einfach total beeindruckt von der Schönheit

00:00:20.645 --> 00:00:22.522

Und als die Alliierten kamen

00:00:22.689 --> 00:00:26.192

haben sie die ganzen Sprengladungen gefunden

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.001

und in Sacré Coeur und am Eiffelturm war's genauso

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.049

und an noch ein paar Stellen

00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:34.617

Stimmt das

00:00:34.784 --> 00:00:37.871

Keine Ahnung Ich fand nur die Geschichte so toll

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.838

Saya mendengar cerita ini sekali tentang kapan orang Jerman Paris menempati

00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:06.756

Dan mereka harus mundur kembali

00:00:06.965 --> 00:00:08.842

Mereka kabel Notre Dame untuk meniup

00:00:09.001 --> 00:00:13.179

Tapi mereka harus meninggalkan satu orang bertugas memukul saklar

00:00:13.513 --> 00:00:16.474

Dan orang prajurit ia tidak bisa melakukannya

00:00:16.766 --> 00:00:20.353

Dia hanya duduk di sana tersingkir oleh betapa indah tempat itu

00:00:20.687 --> 00:00:22.048

Kemudian saat pasukan Sekutu masuk

00:00:22.073 --> 00:00:26.067

Mereka menemukan semua bahan peledak berbaring di sana dan saklar terlewat

00:00:26.401 --> 00:00:29.904

Dan mereka menemukan hal yang sama di Menara Sacré Coeur Eiffel

00:00:30.238 --> 00:00:32.407

tempat pasangan lain saya pikir

00:00:32.699 --> 00:00:34.576

Apakah itu benar

00:00:34.826 --> 00:00:37.745

Aku tidak tahu Saya selalu cerita suka meskipun

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.041

Я слышал историю о том что когда немцы спешно отступали из Парижа

00:00:06.964 --> 00:00:09.799

они собирались взорвать Нотр Дам

00:00:10.301 --> 00:00:13.337

Это поручили исполнить одному солдату

00:00:13.387 --> 00:00:16.305

но он так и не смог этого сделать

00:00:16.474 --> 00:00:19.925

Он просто сидел здесь и любовался этим местом

00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:23.224

А когда пришли войска союзников

00:00:23.272 --> 00:00:27.601

они нашли вокруг взрывчатку и неиспользованный детонатор

00:00:27.651 --> 00:00:32.148

Так же было у Сакре Ко у Эйфелевой башни и ещё в паре мест

00:00:32.698 --> 00:00:33.896

Это правда

00:00:34.867 --> 00:00:37.821

Не знаю но мне нравится эта история

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.993

Oí una historia una vez de cuando los alemanes ocuparon París

00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:06.798

y tuvieron que retirarse

00:00:06.973 --> 00:00:08.907

Iban a volar Notre Dame

00:00:09.108 --> 00:00:13.034

pero tuvieron que dejar a un hombre encargado de presionar el botón

00:00:13.512 --> 00:00:16.572

Y el hombre el soldado no pudo hacerlo

00:00:16.749 --> 00:00:20.048

Se quedó ahí sentado aterrado por la belleza del lugar

00:00:20.653 --> 00:00:22.518

Y cuando las tropas aliadas llegaron

00:00:22.688 --> 00:00:26.018

encontraron todos los explosivos ahí y el botón sin presionar

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.998

y encontraron lo mismo en el Sacré Coeur la Torre Eiffel

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.494

y otro par de lugares creo

00:00:32.665 --> 00:00:34.599

Eso es cierto

00:00:34.767 --> 00:00:37.861

No sé Pero siempre me gustó la historia
