EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the jubilant moment when the French First Infantry Regiment (F.F.I.) marched through Paris's grand Place de la Concorde on August 25, 1944. The Liberation of Paris, a pivotal turning point in World War II, had begun just two days earlier when the Allied forces, led by General Leclerc and the 2nd Armored Division, entered the city after months of brutal German occupation. The F.F.I., also known as the "Force Française de l'Intérieur," was a French resistance movement that played a crucial role in the liberation of Paris. Comprised of volunteers from various resistance groups, the F.F.I. fought alongside the Allied forces to reclaim their capital city. Their triumphant march through the city center was a symbol of the French people's resilience and determination to reclaim their freedom. The crowd in the photograph reflects the excitement and relief felt by the Parisian population as they welcome their liberators. The sight of French soldiers in uniform, waving flags and carrying weapons, brought hope and joy to the people who had endured years of hardship under German rule. The iconic obelisk in the center of Place de la Concorde, which stands as a symbol of Parisian power and history, serves as a backdrop to this historic moment. This photograph is part of a collection of postcard-sized images issued to celebrate the Liberation of Paris between August 19th and 26th, 1944. It offers a glimpse into the emotional and symbolic significance of this pivotal moment in French and World War II history.
