Postcard, French, Liberation of Montbéliard

Genuine post-WWII French postcard, commemorating the liberation of Montbéliard, Doubs département, on November 17, 1944.

Printed in Montbéliard in the 1950s.

This caricature, drawn by local artist Henri Sauldubois, shows an old woman, wearing some wooden clogs and an FFI armband, kicking the bottom of a German officer. This famous illustration is generally known under the following title: Le coup de pied à tchu.

The above-mentioned man may have been drawn to represent some Karl Dietz, a.k.a. 'Scarface', a Gestapo officer hated by the locals, who was killed in the attack of Maquis de Lomont in August 1944.

Good overall condition; blank.
