What they did is literally the equivalent of turning the flag in "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" to the Hammer & Sickle.
Except that this image is just as iconic here and I think elsewhere in Europe... that's not true of Iwo Jima I think (or maybe the Japanese all know it?)

The picture was not taken in Paris as the Germans first marched through (which is what it was circulated as in America) at all. This man is M. Jerôme Barzetti, photographed in Marseille, La Canebière, at passage of flags of dismounted regiments, sent in Algeria, after collapse of France. Date: approximatively Feb.19, 1941.

That would explain the mix of emotions on all the people around very well.
