Departure from a railway station

Men in caps and jackets carrying suitcases and bundles walk in a dense stream across the forecourt of a large railway station; a Métro sign stands at the corner, uniformed policemen line the way, and women walk among the men. Apparently Paris during the German occupation. The scene resembles the departures of French workers for Germany, first as volunteers under the Relève from 1942 and from February 1943 through compulsory labour service.
