WWII Question: I’m writing a historical-fiction story and I’m trying to set it in a town during WW2. I’m looking for a town or area in France that was under occupation from Germany, liberated by the Allies for at least a short time, then retaken by Germany (even if only briefly).

If I can’t find a setting like that I’ll have to place the story in Luxembourg or Belgium during the battle of the bulge or something :/

Mortain might be suitable. Part of German occupied France until 3rd august 1944, recaptured during the 7th-13th during Operation Lüttich, then finally in Allied control.
