I was searching for information on one of the towns in france that our army group liberated in WW II. Those folks sent me lots of info, photos, and other things. They even recorded me telling my story i had written about when i was there, and then broadcast it on the radio in that area! One of the people whose address is above, heard it on the radio, and wrote to me about it!
Try these names--might be able to get you some information on the area you mentioned!
