The first photo on this post has "Paris 1940" written on the back and shows a soldier outside "la joie d'être".
The next appears to be by a ship/boat with a few soldiers smoking and playing cards. This one also has some writing on the back, with what looks to be a name and a date of October 1940?.
The and the last on this post shows three under a bridge, there's less writing on the reverse of this one.
I don't think I'll be posting every photo, as there's 44 German and 3 U.S. photos that came from this lot.

Always good to see original war era photos. I can’t quite match the camera angle but this is the Place de La Bastille in Paris.

#2 is possibly La Moulin Rouge, a popular haunt for soldiers in times of occupation or liberation. Carry on adding photos Matt. It's always fun to try and add further context to locations if we can.
