Always fun to dig at the French but I am not sure pictures taken by a Nazi propagandist fairly reflect the French during occupation.

I agree. As horrible and monsterish the Nazi's were, they are humanitarian compared to the modern day Nazi's - the Muslims.

They want the entire world under Sharia law. That's what liberals don't understand.

Even though the photographer selected particular scenes that fit his message, that doesn't mean the scenes didn't occur. (The elderly man having confirmed that he was, in fact, once a little boy playing with a boat in the park.) Since color photography was fairly rare at the time, the photographs have a historic interest simply for that reason.

No reasonable viewer would conclude that the exhibit was a complete depiction of life in Nazi-occupied Paris.

True. More than likely many of the photos were staged. I doubt the Nazis allowed regular French citizens to walk around Paris taking photos at random.
