On August 15, 1944, a few weeks after the Normandy landings, Allied troops reached the coast of southeastern France, between Toulon and Cannes. Operation Dragoon was successful thanks to the action of the resistance networks and the understanding between the warlords. Opponents of the Nazi regime gathered many ships, supply boats and barges. The objective was to liberate the cities of Toulon and Marseille and then move north.
