Historical Background:
In December 1944, the 27th French Alpine Division was recreated from the gathering of several Resistance groups. This division was deployed in the Alps in front of the German 5.Gebirgsjäger Division and some Italian units as the Folgore Division. In earlier April 1945, the 11th "Bataillon de Chasseurs Alpins" was ordered to capture the Mont-Froid which reaches 2.900 meters at its highest point. On the ridge of Mont-Froid, the German defenders were entrenched in three Blocks called : West Block, Central Block (made with trenches only) and East Block. On the 5th of April, 4th company of Captain Branche assaulted the three blocks in the darkness of the night. In the morning, the Central Block was captured and, in the afternoon it was the turn of West Block. The East Block was captured the day after. On the 6th of April the whole ridge was in French hands, in spite of continuous German artillery fire on the ridge.
