Short piece, in French, noting that the Gare du Nord railway station was held by both the German Army and German rail employees until the end, in order to preserve a means of retreat, which explains the large number of such memorials in the vicinity. Di Bella and Cabirol were caught with flyers appealing for insurrection against the Germans and were executed on the rear side of the station. (Submitted on August 30, 2022.)
