History
World War II
Capture of Paris
During World War II, Paris was captured by the Wehrmacht soldiers who would triumphantly goose-step through the city.[1] The fall of Paris became an object of mockery among the Allied troops, often asking how many Frenchmen would take to defend Paris, answering that none knew, as they never tried.[2]

Paris marked as one of Schmidt's targets
In 1943, Johann Schmidt and his HYDRA division went rogue, separating themselves from the Nazi regime. According to one of HYDRA's maps, Paris was among the European cities planned to be invaded following the destruction of the United States.[3][3]
Hunt of Bruce Banner
Paris was one of the potential locations of Bruce Banner after his track was lost following an incident in the jungles of South America. Thaddeus Ross, responsible for the hunt of Banner, figured that he could be anywhere in the world, even in Paris painting landscapes.[4]
