The photographs are really wonderfully done. It's hard to say that he
should be punished for putting the best face on France during the German
occupation. He seems to have shown both sides of the coin in his
photography, although the German side paid better. And the Germans are the
ones who gave him the rare color film, making these photos so important
historically.
I started to notice how even the women called well-dressed in the captions
didn't have nylons on. Only one woman other than those in uniform seemed to
be wearing stockings. You'd think the Germans would have given them
stockings to wear in at least some of the more posed photographs.
In the more posed photographs, you can't see the women's legs, and thus
you can't tell.
A lot of the women and girls are wearing ankle socks (high socks in one
instance) and some women are clearly bare legged, but in the crowd shots
not enough detail is visible to be sure--especially of women
photographed from the front.
Certainly only the Nazi women in military uniforms clearly are wearing
proper stockings with clocks.
