EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of triumph as General Leclerc, commander of the French Second Armored Division, rides through the streets of Paris on August 25, 1944. The image is part of a collection of postcard-sized photographs issued to celebrate the Liberation of Paris, which took place between August 19th and 26th, 1944. The Second World War had seen France occupied by German forces since the fall of 1940. The liberation of Paris was a pivotal moment in the war, representing the end of the German occupation of the city and a symbol of hope and freedom for the French people. General Leclerc, a French military hero, led his division in the final assault on Paris, which began on August 19, 1944. The battle was fierce, with heavy fighting taking place in the streets of the city. But on August 25, the French flag was raised over the Hôtel de Ville, signaling the end of the battle and the beginning of a new era for Paris and France. In this photograph, General Leclerc is seen riding through the streets of Paris, surrounded by cheering crowds. The image captures the joy and excitement of the moment, as well as the relief and pride felt by the French people. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of freedom and democracy. The photograph is part of a collection of postcard-sized images issued to celebrate the Liberation of Paris, which were likely distributed to the public as souvenirs or keepsakes. The images offer a glimpse into the historical significance of this moment in time and serve as a reminder of the courage and resilience of the French people during the Second World War.
