When the Germans arrived in June 1940, Cherbourg was virtually untouched, except for its military sites. The town became a veritable fortress: the "Festung von Cherbourg". Soldiers took up residence in many houses and public buildings, and the occupation lasted 4 years. On June 23, 1944, the Americans liberated the town and restored all the port facilities needed for the landing of military equipment. They returned the town in October 1945.
