This famous jeep has been the talk of the town! This jeep became famous for being the first to enter Paris this August 24, 1944 sporting what's more, the writing Dead to the jerks on the hood.

This was the jeep of commander Raymond DRONNE, commander of the 1st detachment of the 2eDB.

The General LECLERC ordered Commander DRONNE: File straight for Paris, enter Paris! . The day before, he reportedly had the inscription Mort aux cons painted on the front of his jeep, for which he was reprimanded by the general asking him to erase the inscription, to no avail.

The jeep's name will be traced back to the ears of General DE GAULLE, he declared on the subject: Heavy task.
