Re: Images of Paris under occupation
thx for clarification!
Re: Images of Paris under occupation
Kriegsmarine soldiers were in front of Hôtel de la Marine building, not Hôtel de Crillon, which is an identical building next to it.
You can see address there on the photo - number 2.
Hôtel de la Marine building was used as French naval ministry.

Not Paris proper, but if the caption was correct this photo was taken in Fontainebleau.
