This article has two different listings for the French forces that surrendered at the end of the siege. The battlebox says that the French army numbered 400,000 during the siege and 400,000 surrendered. Towards the end of the article it says that Joseph Vinoy surrendered 146,000.
no medical evacuation
The article "To Pop a Balloon: Aeromedical Evacuation in the 1870 Siege of Paris" by D M Lam in Aviation, Space and Environmental Medicine 59:10 (1988) pretty much discredits the idea that the balloon flights from Paris during the siege were used to evacuate wounded soldiers. The 160 passengers taken out of Paris were primarily government officials and businessmen. The balloons also carrier outgoing mail and carrier pigeons, who would then return to Paris with incoming mail. 165.91.64.226 ( talk) 02:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)RKH
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Franco-Prussian War - Students Going to Man the Barricades - Illustrated London News Oct 1 1870.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 18, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-09-18. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 19:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
As far as I know the siege was not against France (although it was in the middle of Franco-Prussian war). The siege was against the Paris Commune who was, in todays terms, another state. The Paris Commune had a flag that is not the same as French. The Commune flag was only a red flag. you have to change that French flag in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.164.52.89 ( talk) 17:09, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
