This definitely more than mildly interesting.

The missing Vichy period is sus.

If we're talking about Paris, it wasn't part of Vichy France, but was directly occupied by Germany.

Is there a hi-res version of this somewhere?

Yup pretty much

It was a great year.

Good eye!
I don't see an umbrella, though; she might just be jumping to her death.

It could be a reference to 1572. The so called St Barthelemy Massacre.
