Drien Coz

Following the rapid advance of American troops towards Brest with the support of the US Army Air Force, German soldiers sought to regain the submarine base.
On their way they were harassed by the Resistance and took their revenge cheerfully on civilians.
This is the case of Drien Coz, 45 years old, innocent victim of Nazi barbarism, shot downin these parts on August 9, 1944.
