The Liberation of Paris seen by our American allies:
The men of the 4th American infantry division, which entered Paris on August 25, left the French Liberation Army the privilege of entering the capital first, guaranteeing the liberation of Paris the image of a essentially French victory.
This success is a powerful symbol that helps to guarantee France's place among the Allied forces and on the side of the winners of the conflict.
The American publisher Fluegel, who was our correspondent at the time, had produced a very beautiful patriotic philatelic envelope symbolizing the Liberation of Paris by the French and American armies.
