Photos of the Liberation of Paris.
My great grandfather Jean Prissette lived in Paris (close to Parc du Luxembourg) during the occupation and was an avid photographer. He witnessed the street fighting in August 1944 around his neighbourhood.
Most of his photos were never returned when he had them developed and this is all I found when we emptied his house. Thought some might enjoy.
Last photo is him when he was mobilised in 1940 (like many soldiers, he never saw the Germans as the army crumbled before they had a chance catch a glimpse of the enemy).
