French patriots work on under eyes of Gestapo. Despite German patrols and Vichy secret police, French patriots risked their lives to put this bust representing the French Republic on this stand in Boug-en-Bresse, France. The monument has also been decorated with signs announcing the birth of the Fourtsh Republic. The original bust of Edgar Quinet, the French writer, which occupied this stand, was removed by the Germans for its'metal.
