On the 11th November 1942, the German Army crossed the demarcation line between the occupied region of France in the north and the so-called Free Zone, administered by the French based in Vichy under the leadership of Marshal of France, Philip Pétain. The Allies had recently landed in North Africa and in Berlin the decision had been made to bring the Free Zone under closer control.
​
The French were no longer in charge of their own lives. Up until then the war had kept its distance from Provence. But now, across the south and west of the conquered nation, cities, towns, and villages had to get used to a new and very different life.
​
This is the story of one of them.
