EDITORS COMMENTS

The image showcases a procession of German cavalrymen, mounted on majestic horses, riding through one of the city's gates. It is a powerful representation of victory and occupation. The scene depicts an important turning point for both Germany and France. For Germany, it symbolizes their triumph over France in the war and their emergence as a dominant European power.
