While Monique had gone to meet the SOE agent, a group of resistance fighters had gone out to sabotage the branch line the German's were using to move ammunition up to their big railway guns.
---0X0---
They reached the road near the railway line ....
no German's in sight ...so they crossed the road...
waiting in cover for the German patrol to move down the line ...
The German patrol passed by down the line; another moved down the road behind them without incident..
Patrols having passed by, they started to lay the charge on the track ...
The moved back and set off the charge - there was a harumph and a flash of the explosion ...
As the dust settled they moved away - a hole in track would stop shipments for a while ...
The explosion brought the German patrols in their direction; as they ran across the heathland the Germans closed in ...
The Germans caught a glimpse of movement as the resistance ran to safety...
One of the Germans ran forward, blundering into one of the resistance - the german fired and wounded the other (not badly), the resistance fighter fired killing the german....
The resistance fighter moved quickly to catch up with his comrades, as the Germans fired at them (not hitting them ..)
The resistance make for the safety of the woods...
