EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - German troops marching through the streets of Paris on 17 June 1940. The image showcases the stark reality of occupation during World War II, as the city's buildings serve as a backdrop to this powerful scene. In an unprecedented turn of events, just four days prior to this march, the French government had abandoned Paris and declared it an open city. This decision allowed for an unopposed entry by German forces into one of Europe's most iconic capitals. The photograph depicts rows upon rows of soldiers, resolutely moving forward with determination and purpose. Among them are men on bicycles, showcasing various modes of transportation utilized during wartime. These soldiers represent not only Germany but also symbolize the immense power struggle that engulfed Europe at that time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this historical moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by both occupiers and occupied alike during those tumultuous years. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but reflect on the profound impact that war has on nations and individuals alike. It is a testament to resilience, sacrifice, and ultimately serves as a poignant reminder never to forget our shared history.
