The Eiffel Tower (French: tour Eiffel) is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after engineer Gustave Eiffel, who designed it.[1]
History
Built in the Belle Époque for the 1889 World's Fair, the Eiffel Tower was a a symbol of France's new engineering prowess[2] and later became the central icon of Paris.[3]
During World War II, the tower became a symbolic battleground. Adolf Hitler ordered its demolition, but his orders were never carried out, and the occupying Germans would later deck it with Nazi banners. In 1944, United States fighter pilot Captain William Overstreet Jr. pursued a German plane over the city, and damaged the fighter's engine. The German pilot attempted to shake off his pursuer by flying close to the Eiffel tower, with some claiming they flew underneath it. This did not work, and the Nazi plane crashed to the ground.[3]
In 2014, a Helix Initiate reliving the memories of Parisian Assassin Arno Dorian during the French Revolution went through Helix rifts to avoid detection by Abstergo's server sweeps. Two of these "server bridges" featured the Eiffel Tower, one set in 1899,[4] and another during Paris' occupation in 1944.[5]
