Summary:
Description: Three women collaborators have their heads shaved by local barbers in a garage (?). They are then led through the streets of Breteuil by FFI volunteers and the local police followed by a jeering and occasionally vindictive crowd; a gendarme is seen at one point rushing to the defence of one of the unfortunate women who is assaulted with a broomhandle by a spectator. Also seen in the crowd are British army servicemen, drawn to the spectacle partly through curiosity and partly for amusement.
