US Navy men and jeep in snow in the Champ de Mars with the Paris Eiffel Tower, 1945. In perhaps the first heavy snow after Liberation, three American navy men have pulled their jeep into the Champs de Mars with the Eiffel Tower in the background. No other people are in sight. The tower is depicted from base to top and the Palais de Chaillot can be seen between the legs. A US Chief Petty Officer in peacoat stands on the hood of the jeep with a movie camera. Two seamen in navy caps and peacoats hold a map of Paris.

Photographer Clarence Inman was 25-26 years old while stationed for World War II in Paris (Nov 1944-May 1945) and London (June-November 1945). He was a US Navy Reserve Chief Petty Officer attached to the Field Photo Branch of the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The founder and commander of this unit was legendary film director John Ford. Field Photo had missions across the globe during the war. Clarence Inman’s work was largely connected to the Intelligence Photographic Documentary Project which surveyed the existing conditions of Continental Europe ports and transportation infrastructure. This project also was tasked with assembling photo documentation for the war trials in Nuremberg. Inman created many quality photographic images while off duty and on foot in Paris, London, Copenhagen, and Nuremberg. After the war, he returned to his career as a life-long professional photographer in Los Angeles.
