    • The occupying German forces blew up Rennes' bridges in an attempt to delay the advancing American forces, but to no avail. The first American tank arrived in the Place de la Mairie at 10am on 4 August, thus making Rennes one of the first French cities to be liberated, a fact duly celebrated by its citizens. The people of Rennes also gave a warm welcome to General de Gaulle when he visited the city on 22 August, 1944.
