Decades ago, this photo was captured by the Captain in the Army Film & Photographic Unit. In front of the chapel, you can see a tank and a priest. The priest appears to be praying for the safeguard of the men before him.

This photo was taken after the town was liberated with the help of the resistance and American soldiers. The army rolled in in August 1944, just a couple of months after the resistance started taking key points.
