During July 1944, about 4,000 French resistance fighters were slaughtered on the Vervours Plateau in South Eastern France. ..... a few kilometres south of Grenoble. Resistance fighters only received one supply drop from Britain and were disappointed that WALLIES never dropped paratroopers to assist them.
WI WALLIES seriously supported the Vercours Republic?
How long would WALLIED air forces need to clear Luftwaffe from the skies over Vercours?
How long would (glider-landed field engineers need to build a C-47 sized airstrip?
How many WALLIED troops would be needed to secure the plateau?
How many tons of supplies to sustain them?
How much could the Republic of Vercours mess with German supply lines reaching to Marsailles?
