German Armored Vehicles Parked in Front of Civic Building in Saint-Quentin, France, Following German Occupation (World War II)

This black and white photograph captures a stark scene of military occupation in the French town of Saint-Quentin, which was occupied by the Germans ("La población francesa de San Quintín despues de ser ocupada por los alemanes"). The visual description shows a row of German armored vehicles parked in front of a grand, ornate building, suggesting a civic structure like a town hall. The juxtaposition of civilian architecture and military power highlights the disruption and control exerted by the occupying forces, likely during World War II, as indicated by the context of German occupation in France. The back of the photograph includes archival marks: "W - 1151," "Foto Cifra," and "G 26.10-2.6."
