Photographers Used Backdrops To Hide The Devastation In Warsaw
After the Second World War, Europe was in shambles no matter which side they fought for. Poland experienced a lot of devastation as well. The country used to boast gorgeous structures, but many of them were destroyed to bits. Survivors wanted to go back to their old life, but it was not easy to do so. Photographers tried to help the citizens regain some semblance of normalcy and pretended that nothing had happened. They did so with the help of backdrops like this one! It is amazing to see the contrast.

For four years, Paris was occupied by the Nazis. At long last, it received its liberation on the 25th of August 1944. The Nazis did not put up a fight after the arrival of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division and the French 2nd Armored Division. Legend has it that Hitler asked General Dietrich von Choltitz to burn the City of Lights and demolish the Eiffel Tower. Instead of destroying the beautiful city, he just surrendered. Two days after that, a liberation march was held through the Champs d’Elysees to celebrate.
