Unclear citations[edit]

These were Ibids that didn't look to actually reference the immediately preceding ref. I've changed it to the most likely, but these need verification:

"Most affected were the Lille-Fives metalworks factories (targeted eight times between 1941 and 1944),{{sfn|Caniot|2009|p=105}}" (diff)
"In the first year of the war, the "Dames," female volunteers trained in healthcare, managed the train station cafeteria reserved for soldiers on leave, while also helping with various other day-to-day tasks (notable examples include Marie-Rose Dalmar and Elisabeth Biarez.{{sfn|Caniot|2012|p=560}}" (diff)
"In general, there was a shortage of healthcare workers and medicine, and a surplus of victims and patients.{{sfn|Caniot|2012|p=576}}" (diff)

Others:

"For example, following the sabotage of a railway line on April 1, 1944, eighty-six civilians in the village of [[Ascq]] were executed.<ref>Étienne Dejongles, ''art. cit.''</ref>"
"A unit of a dozen tanks, escorted by camouflaged cyclists, was evacuated via the Boulevard Victor Hugo while sustaining fire from members of the FFI, who were firing from behind windows in the surrounding homes.<ref>Maurice Roland, ''art. cit.''</ref>"

What about De Gaulle?[edit]

General Charles de Gaulle was perhaps the most famous son of Lille at that period - it would be apt if some idea of local support for Gaullism could be given. Was the street named for him, mentioned in the paragraph on 1940Battle of Lille get its name before or after the war?Cloptonson (talk) 21:02, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
