A post-WW2 scene in Aulnay-sous-Bois, France, which was one of a number of towns to receive a Place de Stalingrad, named after the battle generally viewed as the turning point of WW2 in Europe.
One notes the service station selling OZO - the trading name of the Omnium Française des Pétroles (OFP) which was established to develop oil marketing activities mainly in Francophone countries. It sold OZO branded petrol in France, Switzerland, Morocco, Sudan, East Africa and, through ICP, Italy. In 1954 it was one of the first independent franchisees to start using CFP's TOTAL brand and in 1960 CFP acquired OFP to prevent it falling under the influence of the newly-formed French rival Union Générale des Pétroles.
