I believe that this incident took place in Paris. There is a video film clip of this woman being stopped, brought to this place, shaved and then standing in line with other female collaborators on public exhibition. There is also a photo of the US Army signal corp photographer taking this picture. Another person took this same scene with a less expensive camera. This is a well publicized picture

Hi,

I'm from Montélimar, interested by the picture of the woman being shaved. Could you share your source on the origin of this picture ?

Thanks a lot
