Comment. Resolution is too small (see FP criteria). I don't know if an exception can be made here due to its historical significance. —Bruce1ee^talk 08:30, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'd be surprised if there wasn't a better PD photo of this iconic event, and the recent insertions of the photo have ill-informed captions - this wasn't "the victory parade", it was a parade conducted for political purposes a few days after Paris was liberated (to remind the French of the US Army's important role in liberating and securing the city).
