Monument To The French Resistance In The Alps

GLIÈRES VAL DE BORNE, FRANCE - JULY 27: Fir trees grow in the alpine pastures next to the Monument national à la Résistance du plateau des Glières, a monumental work by Émile Gilioli on July 27, 2023 in Glières Val De Borne, France. Inaugurated in 1973, this work of art rises like a V of victory, its improbable balance showing that freedom, always threatened, is always to be won. In 1944, at the end of the Second World War, the French Resistance bravely opposed the Nazi occupying forces on the French Alps remote location Plateau Glières.
