Photographers Used Backdrops To Hide The Devastation In Warsaw
Regardless of which side they fought on during WWII, Europe was a shambles after the war. Poland, too, suffered a great deal of devastation. The country used to be known for its beautiful structures, but many of them have since been demolished. Survivors wished to return to their previous lives, but it was difficult to do so. Photographers attempted to restore some semblance of normalcy to the citizens by pretending that nothing had happened. They were able to do so thanks to backdrops like this one! The contrast is mind-blowing.

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