I always thought this man probably fought in the first war and saw so much suffering over years to repel the Germans and to see them enter Paris in about a month was too much to bear.

his name is Jacques Bonsergent. he is the first inhabitants of paris executed by German (10 November 1940). He refused to give the names of his friends caught in a fight with German soldiers.

(Sorry for my english)

This photo is captioned by the US National Archives as a scene from Paris, France, but it is likely to be a scene of civilians watching French regimental colors being transferred from Marseille to Algeria.
