EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of triumph and jubilation during the liberation of Paris in 1945. The Military School, located in the heart of the city, had been a stronghold for the German forces during the occupation. On August 25, 1945, the French 2nd Armored Division, led by General Leclerc, approached the fortified compound. The image shows the intense and thrilling scene as French soldiers, supported by the crowd of onlookers, breach the final barricade and take control of the Military School. The crowd's collective release of emotion is palpable as they celebrate the end of the long-awaited liberation. The historical significance of this moment is profound, as Paris, the City of Light, was finally free from the grip of the Nazi regime. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of the French people during World War II and the ultimate triumph of liberty over oppression.
