A 1945 Coca-Cola ad celebrates the liberation of Paris. Specifically, it pays tribute to the American soldier and his "Yank friendliness" in sharing his favorite soft drink with the locals.
Hitler had given orders to burn Paris and blow up the Eiffel Tower in advance of the Allied invasion, orders that fortunately were never carried out. The Coke illustration is by Louis Douché, who is virtually unknown.
Note: Read more about the Eiffel Tower.
