Sandbagged posts in the streets

A soldier in a long greatcoat and a crested steel helmet stands beside a high wall of sandbags in front of a building; on a sloping street a helmeted soldier lies with a rifle in a low post roofed with sandbags and planks, a sentry standing behind; a long barrier of sandbags closes a boulevard lined with tall houses. Apparently France, 1940. Paris was declared an open city, and German troops entered it without a fight on 14 June 1940.
