Report From One of the First GIs To Enter Paris
Soon after he landed in Southeastern France with the 36th Division, YANK’s Sgt. George Aarons was hailed by a group of men who yelled, “Hey, will you take our picture?” Sgt. Aarons obliged and the result was this unusual tintype of a group of fighting men from a Tank Destroyer outfit.
