A large, dark grey informational plaque stands outdoors, presenting historical details related to the liberation of Strasbourg. The plaque is positioned vertically in the image, next to a grey metal fence on the left and a moss-covered stone or concrete structure on the right. The plaque's main title, "L'ULTIME OBSTACLE : LE RHIN," is prominently displayed. Below this, a black and white photograph shows the intricate spire of Strasbourg Cathedral reaching into an overcast sky. Accompanying text describes the event: "Rouvillois sends a detachment of armored vehicles from the 1st Moroccan Spahi Regiment (1 RMSM) to clear the city center. Spahi Maurice Lebrun goes to a shopkeeper in Place Saint-Étienne. She quickly makes a tricolor flag from pieces of a sheet and a skirt." It continues, "At 2 PM, Lebrun and three comrades begin the ascent of the cathedral. After a 142-meter climb, he attaches the flag to the lightning rod." Also featured is a framed "Ordre du Jour N°73" by General Leclerc (November 24, 1944), stating, "Le serment de Koufra est tenu" (The oath of Koufra is kept). This order is repeated below, attributed to General Leclerc. Various logos are visible, including "MINISTERE DES ARMÉES," "80 ANS LIBERATION STRASBOURG," and "GOUVERNEUR MILITAIRE DE STRASBOURG." The overall tone is commemorative, celebrating the historic hoisting of the French flag on the cathedral upon the city's liberation. The setting appears to be daytime, with diffused light suggesting an overcast sky.
