CIVILIAN CASUALTY SQUARE
Civilian Victims’ Square in Saint-Lô, offering a place of remembrance for the 500 civilians who died under the bombs in 1944
Go up the main path, turn left after the central square of the soldiers and you will see the square reserved for five hundred civilians who perished following the summer 1944 bombings. On 6 June 1944, a rain of fire descended, destroying 95% of the city. In his book "When Saint-Lô would revive", Auguste-Louis Lefrancois estimates that 397 is the number of civilians killed, 43 of whom were in the prison. A place of memory, the place is moving.
