Photographs from Nazi occupied Paris

6. I heard the program when it was broadcast.

It started with a photo album that someone discovered recently and then traced its history. The photos were taken secretly by a professional photographer to document for the future what France looked like during the Nazi occupation.

The pics show civilians and German soldiers mingling on the streets. If you recognize the uniforms and the French sites in the background, the impact is to see what a foreign military occupation looks like. It was not normal -- until the war -- for groups of armed soldiers to walk the streets of Paris, monitoring people's activities.

The photographer was eventually caught. I think someone turned him in, but don't remember for sure if that's how it happened. He died in a concentration camp.
