World War II was in its early days when brutal German dictator
Adolf Hitler paid a visit to Paris, the capital of France. Only
days before, on June 14, 1940, German soldiers had overrun the
city, shocking the world. Hitler now viewed the city s cultural
treasures as his own. He posed for a photo in front of the Eiffel
Tower, the beloved symbol of France and the country s free,
democratic people. The photo, taken by his personal photographer,
Heinrich Hoffmann, would show the world that Nazi Germany had
triumphed over its bitter enemy. Many who viewed the photo in
newspapers around the globe would draw a second conclusion that
Germany would almost certainly invade Britain next. And if Britain
fell, Hitler would be a huge step closer to his ultimate goal of
world domination."
