The image displays the Monument au Maréchal Leclerc et à la 2e DB, situated in the Place de la République, Strasbourg, France. The monument is a tall, rectangular stele constructed from dark stone, featuring intricate bronze sculptural elements with a green patina that project from its upper sides. Engraved on its surface are various battle locations and years: "LE TCHAD 1940", "KOUFRA 1941", "LE FEZZAN 1942", "TRIPOLITAINE TUNISIE 1943", and "PARIS ET STRASBOURG 1944". Below these, a longer inscription reads: "JUREZ DE NE DEPOSER LES ARMES QUE LE JOUR OU NOS COULEURS, NOS BELLES COULEURS FLOTTERONT SUR LA CATHEDRALE DE STRASBOURG", followed by "SERMENT DE KOUFRA 2 MARS 1941". The monument stands on a paved urban square composed of light grey flagstones, under a partially cloudy, light blue sky. Rows of bare, pollarded trees with gnarled branches line the square to both the left and right. In the mid-ground to the left, a multi-story building with a grey facade and numerous windows is visible. A white commercial van bearing the 'GLS' logo is parked in front of this building. Several individuals are present: two pedestrians walk together on the paved area to the left, and one person rides a bicycle further into the scene. To the right, beyond the trees, a street with parked cars is visible, along with architectural details including traditional timber-framed buildings and streetlights. A distant domed structure is faintly discernible on the horizon to the left.
