Civilian Anger
Brimming with anger, a French man attacks a German soldier being marched through the streets of Paris following his capture by members of the French Resistance. After the entry of the French 2nd Armored Division of the Free French Forces and the US 3rd Army, numerous pockets of German snipers who refused to surrender had to be rooted out in street fighting.
