On August 19, 1944, while fighting for Paris was still ongoing, Charles de Gaulle arrived in the city as leader of the Free French Forces. His presence symbolized the restoration of French sovereignty after four years of German occupation. Jack Lieb captured this historic moment in color as one of the few cameramen present. The liberation of Paris was part of the Allied advance following D-Day and the breakthrough from Normandy in August 1944.
