Here's another in the series taken by LIFE photographer Rober Capa who was attached to the 2nd Armored during the Breakthrough. The photo was made around 27 July, 1944. This photo enabled the idenyification of the location. The word MERCERIE on the building at right means men's clothing store. The building across the road at upper right is actually on the far side of the D38 road. It was a boys' school in 1944 and is not the town Mairie (Mayor's office). While researching my 'Breakout' bok, I met a French historian named Jean Torchio, whose father libed IN Notre Dame de Cenilly in 1944. This helped solve some research mysteries.
