Paris was liberated from German troops on 25 August 1944, after Allied forces and the Forces françaises de l’intérieur had taken the city following several days of fighting. Jack Lieb documented the days following the liberation with his private 16-mm Kodachrome camera, capturing the reviving city life on the great Parisian boulevards. The footage is part of the section of his film that describes the advance from Normandy via Versailles to Paris. As color documentation, it represents rare testimony to these historic weeks.
