The organisation was responsible for a huge range of engineering projects both in Nazi Germany and in occupied territories from France to the Soviet Union during the Second World War.
Morane lives in Brentford. Brentford is a suburban town in West London.After leaving FRance, Rozenn was part of Free France. Free France was a resistance government claiming to be the legitimate government of France following the dissolution of the Third Republic during World War II. Led by General Charles de Gaulle, Free France was established as a government-in-exile in London in June 1940 after the Fall of France to Nazi Germany.
Rozenn's father took a position as a doctor in a small village near Lannion, Britanny. Lannion is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in northwestern France.
In Britanny Rozenn mentions that she knows a few Breton words. Breton is a Southwestern Brittonic language of the Celtic language group spoken in Brittany, part of modern-day France. It is the only Celtic language still widely in use on the European mainland.
Rozenn also comes across people who are pro independence of Britanny. Breton nationalism (Breton: Broadelouriezh Vrezhon, French: Nationalisme breton) is the nationalism of the historical province of Brittany, France. Brittany is considered to be one of the six Celtic nations.
