French Forces
AFP
Members of the Paris Resistance, mainly policemen (in dark uniform) appear to take cover from snipers behind a civilian motor car in front of the façade of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris. The location is not improbable; The Isle de la Cité and contiguous Left Bank were the scene of a fair bit of fighting during the Paris uprising. This photo is a little odd, however, as a French Army film crew appears to be in attendance. An immediate post-Liberation reconstruction, perhaps ? Best regards, JR.
