Robert Capa entered Paris on the morning of 25 August with the troops of the Second Armoured Division. The advance party—the armoured vehicles of Captain Dronne’s Ninth Company, nicknamed “La Nueve” because most of the members were Spanish Republicans, had preceded them the night before. General Leclerc’s troops passed through Place Denfert-Rochereau. In his autobiography, Capa embellishes his arrival, explaining that he was with the Spaniards and that he passed in front of his studio on rue Froidevaux. He covered the fighting near the Chamber of Deputies, where he photographed this Resistance member crouching behind a Jeep. The next day, 26 August, he was one of the photographers who followed General de Gaulle for the great march down the Champs-Élysées.
