        You are correct. They’re watching Nazis march victoriously into Paris.

              The woman to the left is clapping. Who’s going to show up to a nazi parade? Sympathizers.

                Fascists are everywhere. Just wait until she finds out agreeing with them doesn’t mean she’s a member of their club.

        No clue. Hence the question.

          I guess I shouldn’t have framed my insecurity as a question. But I looked it up now and I was right. It was taken during the invasion of Paris.

    The original plan was to open up a Burger King, but in the end they knew better.
