Celebrative poster by Prefect Marcel Lhuillier for the liberation of the Côte-d'Or Department in September 1944.

The liberated territories were administered by the Provisional Government of the French Republic, led by General de Gaulle, whose authority was recognized by the Allies on October 23, 1944. "Dijon enfin est libre; le Département de la Côte D'Or le sera bientôt dans sa totalité. Les terribles épreuves d'une occupation barbare et sanguinaire ont pris fin et les Français sont à nouveau les maîtres chez eux... Je salue les soldats et leurs chefs. Mais je n'oublie pas que c'est à la Résistance Française elle-même entrainée par le Général De Gaulle que nous devons notre indépendance nationale et notre autorité..."
