Description
Amiens, France. 1944-02. The damaged wall of the prison and the breach through which 187 French underground patriots escaped to safety with waiting French patriots in a nearby forest. The damaged cell blocks from which the patriots were released can be seen in the background. The prison was damaged in a precision bombing attack, a raid in which No. 464 Squadron RAAF participated.
