EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of triumph and unity between General Charles de Gaulle's appointed military leader in France, General Alphonse Juin, and General Philippe Leclerc and his troops as they entered Paris on August 25, 1944. The Liberation of Paris marked the end of the German occupation during World War II, and this image encapsulates the spirit of liberation and the joy of the Parisian people. General Juin, who had taken command of the French First Army in Algiers in 1943, had led the forces that advanced on Paris from the south. General Leclerc, commanding the 2nd Armored Division, arrived from the east, and together they joined forces to liberate the city. In this photograph, General Juin is seen reviewing the troops of the 2nd Armored Division, with General Leclerc standing proudly to his right. The soldiers, many of whom were French Resistance fighters, are shown with their weapons at the ready, reflecting the intense battle that had taken place just days before. The Triumphal Arch, or Arc de Triomphe, can be seen in the background, a symbol of French military victory and national pride. The Arch had been the site of many historic military processions, including those of Napoleon Bonaparte and his troops in 1810 and 1815. Now, it stood as a testament to the resilience and determination of the French people, who had endured years of occupation and hardship. 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 is a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in French and European history, and a testament to the enduring spirit of freedom and unity.
