On August 19, 1944, the French Resistance in Paris launched an open uprising against German occupation — the prelude to the liberation of the city, which ended on August 25 with the capitulation of General Dietrich von Choltitz. During these days, street fighting, disarming of troops, and arrests took place throughout the city. Jack Lieb captured such scenes with his 16-mm Kodachrome camera; his color footage ranks among the few color documents of these events.
