NAZI OCCUPATION
Hitler and his staff, including the architect Albert Speer and
the sculptor Arno Breker, are pictured walking in front of
the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The French capital fell to the
Nazis on 14 June 1940 as French troops withdrew to
avoid a violent battle and total destruction of Paris.
The city was liberated on 25 August 1944 by US
and French troops.
