Description:

In 1940, Nazi forces marched into Paris. The City of Light went dark—but the Eiffel Tower had one final act of resistance.

Before Hitler arrived, French resistance fighters sabotaged the Tower’s elevators. If he wanted to hoist a flag at the top, he’d have to climb all 1,665 steps. He never did.

For four years, the Eiffel Tower remained untouched—lights off, flag blowing away, silently defying the Nazi regime. It never fired a bullet… but it became a symbol of quiet rebellion.

In this episode of Legacy Thread, we tell the powerful story of how silence, pride, and symbolism turned one of the world’s most iconic structures into a passive protest—and a beacon of endurance.
