Liberation of Paris
“The Champs-Élysées, August 26, 1944. De Gaulle strides down the avenue at the head of a triumphal procession. Foreground shows him tall and uniformed flanked by Leclerc and resistance leaders; midground reveals Sherman tanks and FFI fighters with tricolor armbands; Parisians fill every balcony and rooftop as the Arc de Triomphe rises behind under a brilliant summer sky.”
