"Marseille...also known in English as Marseilles, is the second-largest city of France and the largest city of the Provence historical region." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marseille] "The Battle of Marseille refers to the combat and other actions from August 21–28, 1944 which led to the liberation of Marseille by French forces in World War II. The groundwork was laid by the Allied invasion of southern France in Operation Dragoon on 15 August 1944 by the United States Seventh Army, with major support from the French First Army."
