Photographers Used Backdrops To Hide The Devastation In Warsaw
Europe was in shambles after WWII, regardless of which side they fought on. Poland, like the rest of Europe, was devastated. The country was once known for its magnificent structures, but many have since been demolished. Survivors wished to return to their previous lives, but finding a way to do so was difficult. By pretending that nothing had happened, photographers attempted to restore some semblance of normalcy to the citizens. Thanks to backdrops like this one, they were able to do so! The contrast is astounding.

For four years, the Nazis occupied Paris. After a long struggle, it was liberated on August 25, 1944. The Nazis did not fight back after the arrival of the US 4th Infantry Division and the French 2nd Armored Division. Hitler allegedly ordered General Dietrich von Choltitz to set fire to Paris and demolish the Eiffel Tower, according to legend. Rather than destroying the beautiful city, he simply gave up. To commemorate the event, a liberation march was held through the Champs d’Elysees two days later.
