Time travel back to 1944 - Haunting “then and now“ WWII photos from the southern France Invasion
“Then and now“ comparisons of World War II photos with the same locations today, depicting German soldiers and Allied paratroopers on the French Riviera in 1944, at the period of Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of southern France.
The Nice area was occupied by German troops of Reserve Division 148. On August 15th 1944, the Allies, spearheded by paratroopers of the First Airborne Task Force, landed in southern France and liberated the region of Nice over the next weeks.
If you are the relative of a soldier who fought in south eastern France and have any photos or documentation about the area during WWII, please contact me at jean-loup@
