In August 1944, Allied and French troops entered Paris and ended approximately four years of German occupation. Jack Lieb documented the liberation of the city as one of the few cameramen working in color. The footage shows urban life in the course of liberation—one of the rare color documentations of this historical moment. In the sequence of Lieb’s film, this section follows the advance through Normandy and leads to the further offensive toward Aachen and Germany.
