Images of the Liberation of Paris

This documentary was filmed, cut and edited by a group of Resistance film makers in the week leading up to the Liberation of Paris as the Allies were approaching the city. It’s narrated in French, but you’ll recognize many Parisian monuments in the fighting scenes, including the Hôtel de Ville, Notre Dame, and the Opéra Garnier. It ends with the triumphant parade down the Champs-Elysées and Charles de Gaulle’s speech.
