Paris marked 75 years since its liberation from Nazi forces in World War II with a Freedom Parade on Sunday.
Flag carrying Parisians came out onto the streets in 1940s period costumes as tanks and military vehicles rolled through the French capital to re-create the route taken by Allied forces, led by French General Philippe Leclerc, to liberate the city in August 1944.
Paris firefighters gathered at the Eiffel tower and a French flag was raised underneath to commemorate the actions of Lucien Sarniguet, a firefighter who climbed the tower amidst gunfire to raise the tricolour and mark the liberation of Paris in 1944.
“I was here in Paris on VE day, I happened to have a pass to come into Paris and that was when they announced victory in Europe. And, at that time people went into the streets dancing in a very jovial mood, everybody happy that they had their freedom back,” Harry Angle, a WWII veteran from the US said at the parade.
The battle to liberate Paris took place from August 19, 1944 until August 25, 1944 when Nazi forces finally surrendered. Some 600 Parisians, 130 Allied soldiers and nearly 1,000 French Resistance fighters were killed in the fighting.

Russian President Vladimir Putin hopped into a bathyscaphe to dive 50 meters deep underwater and pay tribute to the crew of a Soviet submarine, which mysteriously disappeared in the Baltic Sea during WWII while fighting the Nazis.
Known for his love of exploring nature’s depths and heights, Putin on Saturday embarked on a deep-sea mission on board the submersible C-Explorer 3.11.
This time, however, the president’s adventure had a somber tone, as the mission’s target – the wreckage of the Soviet Navy submarine ShCh-308 Syomga (‘Atlantic Salmon’) – had become a mass grave for the vessel’s crew while returning to their base near St. Petersburg during World War II.
