Historical Background:
12th of August 1944 - Crux la ville.
In August 1944, the Morvan mountain was the place of several "Maquis" (French Resistance groups) which harassed the German troops, by numerous ambushes on the roads. German command decided to destroy definitively the French Resistance groups situated in the wooden heights of Crux la ville. From 12th to 15th of August, German troops attacked Maquis Mariaux and Maquis Julien, entrenched in the forest. On the afternoon of 15th, French Resistance decided to break the surrounding to escape to a certain death. The breakthrough occurred in the night 15th to 16th of August and the rescue was made by Maquis Daniel and particularly Company André. On the 17th of August, survivors of Maquis Mariaux were saved.
