The correct option is D

The German occupation of France in World War II occurred between June 22, 1940 and December 1944. As a result of the defeat of the Allied armies in the Battle of France, the French Cabinet sought a cessation of hostilities with the Third Reich The armistice was signed on June 22, 1940 in Compiègne. Under its conditions, the north and west of France were occupied by the Wehrmacht (German army), the remaining third of the country was governed by a French government based in Vichy. In addition Alsacia-Lorraine were annexed by the Third Reich as in the period 1871-1918.
