Nearly 300 tons of arms and ammunition will be thus dropped in Drome, including half of it in Vercors.
From that moment on, operations can be planned : Sabotage and attacks against road and railroad convoys. In 1944, after the Normandy landings, then the Provence landings, Drome will be fully requested.
Violent fights will take place in our region, such as in Hauterives, Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte (Vercors), Vassieux-en-Vercors, Nyons and all along main road 7.
To know more : a visual and sound map of Drome is displayed in the Museum...
Several sabotage and attacks will take place, the most important ones at the power station of Beaumont Monteux, at the railway depot of Portes-lès-Valence, and at the Livron bridge.
Gathered into one entity : the FFI, the French Resistance forces, jointly to the american Units, will harry on all sides, the still powerful retreating enemy.
