Company Vieules had received orders to attack Village des Moulins. Stubborn German resistance had stalled the attack for three hours. The defenders held a large villa which dominated the entire valley as well as the road to Toulon. First Section had taken up positions to block the road at Dardennes which had been captured earlier in the day. The FFI of Group Bartolli had routed a German demolition team wiring the Moulins Bridge and were in the process of removing the charges. The Pioneers of La Poudriere, supported by three light tanks, shifted to the attack in an effort to relieve and resupply the beleaguered Dardennes Garrison.

Dardennes, France

The French Resistance was the collection of French movements that fought against the Nazi German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy régime during the Second World War. Resistance cells were small groups of armed men and women, who, in addition to their guerrilla warfare activities, were also publishers of underground newspapers, providers of first-hand intelligence information, and maintainers of escape networks that helped Allied soldiers and airmen trapped behind enemy lines. The men and women of the Resistance came from all economic levels and political leanings of French society, including émigrés, academics, students, aristocrats, conservative Roman Catholics, Jews, liberals, anarchists and communists.
