TWO DIFFERENT EVENTS are depicted in this rather unique postcard: 1) American General Omar Bradley and troops are seen parading through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on 29 August 1944; 2) the 1938 La Poste France postage stamp commemorates the 20th Anniversary of the Cessation of WWI, yet the cancellation postmark states Musée Carnavalet (the oldest museum in Paris) and the date appears to be 11 November 1944 -- 26th Anniversary of the Armistice. Nevertheless, LIBERATION!!!
