Conflict

Since the Normandy landing, the St. Marcel Maquis had been very active. Regular night paradrops brought materials and weapons, and elements of the 2nd SAS were parachuted in to assist the partisans with training. All this commotion did not fail to attract German attention, and on June 18th, 0430 hrs, Feldengendarmerie 790 was on patrol when it was ambushed by maquis, with all of its soldiers killed or captured. Malestriot garrison, made up of a battalion from 275th Infantry Division, was quickly alerted and undertook a reconnaissance at 0900 hrs. The Germans were quickly repelled by heavy fire from the partisans and SAS, both well-equipped with Bren machineguns. The German attack was resumed at 1000 hrs with mortar support.
