"There was no fighting for the Liberation as there was in Paris", said Jean-Luc Porhel, Directeur des Archives et du Patrimoine de la Ville de Tours, before adding: "The fighting took place in the countryside around Tours, where a large network of resistance fighters was active." This activity was punished: before retreating west, the Germans executed 124 inhabitants of the village of Maillé, in Indre-et-Loire
