M4A2 Sherman "Massaoua" Memorial, of the 501st RCC (2nd Armored Division), destroyed on August 15, 1944, by three shells, the holes of which are visible on the side of the tank. In August 1944, the city was deeply affected by the fighting during the Liberation. The crossing of the Sarthe River at Alençon was a key point in Patton's offensive, which launched the 2nd Armored Division there to reach the Orne River. A fierce battle pitted the Spanish soldiers of the Nueve against the German forces, which liberated the city and enabled the encirclement of strong Wehrmacht units. The company was one of the units that subsequently defended the area against German counterattacks from August 14 to 18. The Spanish Republicans, who had seen the parish priest raise the bodies in the middle of the fighting, before giving them a mortuary wash, pooled their resources to offer a new statue of the Virgin to the destroyed church.
