Avec les Cadets de Saumur #[nn]

Set against the grand façade of the famous cavalry school, this 2010 album from Les Éditions du Triomphe brings to life the tense days of June 1940, when France's young officer cadets faced an extraordinary test. The cover, crafted by Guillaume Berteloot with script by Patrick de Gmeline, depicts uniformed cadets aboard a military motorcycle and sidecar, evoking both the urgency and the determined spirit of that pivotal moment. A handsome, historically grounded work in the *Le Vent de l'Histoire* collection, it offers readers a compelling window into one of the lesser-told chapters of the Second World War.
