Presentation
When Operation Dragoon was launched in Provence on August 15, 1944, the town of Sainte-Maxime and La Nartelle beach were at the heart of the first Allied assault. Three American divisions and a French unit landed on Red and Green Beach, Yellow Beach and Blue Beach, the code names of the beaches targeted by the operation.
A unit of the First Armored Division entered the town that day. The liberation of Provence had begun. It was to the valiant soldiers of this 2nd Cuirassiers Regiment that the commune wished to express its eternal gratitude.
