EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the liberation of Strasbourg, France, in November 1944. The French 2nd Armoured Division, led by General Leclerc de Hauteclocque, achieved this remarkable feat on the 24th of November. In the heart of Place Kleber, General Leclerc stands tall as he takes the salute from his units. The image showcases not only the commander but also reflects the concept of freedom and liberty that was restored to Strasbourg after years of occupation during World War II. A large crowd gathers around him, their faces filled with joy and relief as they witness this historic event unfold before their eyes. The buildings surrounding Place Kleber serve as a reminder of the city's resilience throughout wartime. This monochrome photograph perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere and emotions felt during those forties when soldiers fought bravely for their country's liberation. Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque emerges as an iconic figure in this artwork; his leadership and determination symbolize hope for a brighter future amidst war-torn Europe. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and honors all those who sacrificed so much for peace.
