EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the German military parade in Paris, June 1940. Standing atop the iconic Arc de Triomphe, General Kurt von Briesen watches intently as the grand procession makes its way along Avenue Foch. As commander of the 30th Infantry Division during the invasion of France, Von Briesen played a crucial role in this occupation. The image not only showcases the imposing architecture of Paris but also highlights the stark contrast between occupied and occupier. The cityscape serves as a backdrop to this display of power and dominance by Germany during World War II. General Kurt von Briesen's presence adds an intriguing layer to this photograph. Little did he know that his fate would soon be sealed on the Russian Front in 1941, where he met his untimely death while serving his country. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art media from the 1940s, it transports us back to a time when war ravaged nations and reshaped borders. It reminds us of both humanity's capacity for destruction and resilience. This print is not just an image frozen in time; it represents an era defined by conflict, sacrifice, and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how our world has evolved since then while honoring those who fought bravely amidst chaos and uncertainty.
