how the French flag was raised on the cathedral

In our series of podcasts dedicated to testimonies on the liberation of Alsace, we invite you to listen to the testimony of Maurice Lebrun, brave liberator of Strasbourg, who tells how he managed to hang the tricolor flag on the top of the cathedral of Stasbourg, thus concretizing the oath made at Koufra by General Leclerc. The text is read by journalist Nicolas Lehr.

The series on the liberation of Alsace, offered by DNA and L'Alsace, have the label Liberation Mission. Under this official label are brought together the projects carried out across France to perpetuate the memory of the Liberation.

The series proposed in the columns of our two daily newspapers, on the sites and applications, were produced with the assistance of authoritative historians on the subject; they give an important place to testimonies.

The use of digital formats such as videos, podcasts and interactive content to tell the story of the liberation of Alsace responds to the wishes of the Liberation Mission to reach young audiences.
