Entry of Yanks Into Paris Described
Paris Aug 26 reports a correspondent detailing the American entry into the city from Port d Orleans along the Avenue d Orleans and through the Latin Quarter. He describes crowds cheering and kissing, tanks blazing at close range, Maquis fighters in the streets, and a mood of exhilaration amid the destruction as German officers travel under guard to cease fire orders. He visits General de Gaulle and General LeClerc at their headquarters, observes German officers surrendering under white flags, and reflects on the liberation feel and dangerous combat still evident along the Seine and in central Paris.
