“The capital of France, as of September 1944, is not the same nervous, triumphant paradise city that it was when the Allies first made their entry.”
“The welcome has died down. When you enter the town, today, whether on foot or in a car, everyone is glad to see you, but there are no more mob scenes of riotous greeting exploding around each jeep. Shows are opening again, and the people are beginning to breathe easier…On the other side, Parisians appear as a very grateful but proud and self-reliant population.”
