The garrison of Mareges, surrounded by the maquis on June 6th will be freed on the 14th by a German column coming from Clermont ; but Mareges will be set free without any damage to the structures. On june 9th, the garrison of Ussel, after a short fighting puts itself under the protection of the 1er Régiment de France, a Vichy’s unit. On june 10th , the germans slaughter 47 maquis boys in front of the Ecole Primaire Supérieure of Ussel. |
