End of the line of demarcation between German-occupied and Vichy France, November 1942 (March 1943). Cover of a French magazine. After the Allies landed in North Africa in Operation Torch the Germans occupied the part of France governed by the Vichy regime under the terms of the armistice agreed in 1940. Pierre Laval (right) was the last traveller to present himself with a pass at the line of demarcation before its abolition. The photographer is unknown.
