Not 1940! That's a Mark V Panther Tank. Picture is probably 1944, July or August. Unit is likely using Paris as a transit to meet Allies breaking out of Normandy. Panthers were not seen in West until just before D-Day. They debuted in Russia in 1943. They were built as a response to the T34.

I'll take you guys' word for it! You know the back end of a German tank much better than me. ;^)
