On this day, 26 May 1944, a general strike broke out in Marseille, Vichy France. Metalworkers, public servants and transport workers joined a stoppage of shipyard workers the previous day, demonstrating in front of the City Hall demanding “bread!”. To break the strike the Gestapo had to arrest 15,000 workers - but the crackdown was short lived as Marseille was liberated soon after.
