Description:
Original caption reads: "Hour of Triumph.. Parisians, some on bicycles, some on foot, follow the great victory parade marking the liberation of the French capital August 25, 1944, down the Champs Elysees from the Arc de Triomphe. A few minutes before, German snipers hidden in surrounding buildings made a vain effort to halt the parade and disperse the crowd by firing into the densely packed streets where all Paris had gathered to acclaim the liberators."
