L'Authion
Credit
: CEVASCO Jean-Marie
Description
Glory and exaltation, but also suffering and death. L'Authion has seen the tragic end of many a life.In April 1794, the Italian army, commanded by Generals Bonaparte and Masséna, fought against Austro-Sardinian troops: after extremely violent battles, L’Authion was taken. The Piedmont road was open to the French!Then spring 1945 also saw L'Authion’s destiny being determined by more modern weapons. Despite the Operation Dragoon Provence landings in August 1944, the Alpine front, including the advanced post of L'Authion, was solidly held by the German army.
On 1st March, General de Gaulle created the Alps Army detachment, which was responsible for defending communication lines.
