Outside the bakery of Marcel Baud at 3 rue Grande Biesse is a group of male civilians and three GIs. August 1944. Some wear armbands. They are probably members of the resistance (FFI) and have been loading bread into a motor scooter conducted by a man wearing an Adrian helmet. Nantes was liberated on August 12 by the 4th Armored Division with the help of FFI. Nantes, Normandy, France. (KEYSTONE/akg-images/akg-images)
