Historical Background:
After the liberation of Foix by French Resistance (and Spanish Guerillas) on the 19th of August 1944, the German command reacted quickly by sending the "Turkestan Legion" a SS unit, from Saint-Gaudens to recapture Foix. A first battle occurred at Rimont between SS and Maquis and the village was burnt by the SS troops. The second battle was in Castelnau-Durban on the 22nd of August. SS troops captured the village but suffered heavy losses. French Resistance was decided to stop the SS before they reach Foix and the Turkestan legion was demoralized after this battle. So the SS commanding officer decided to surrender to the French Resistance and to the leader of the Jedburg team, major Bigeard, who became later one of the most famous French paratrooper officer.
