I'm thinking that you refer to Verdun. No victory there, not for the French, not for the Germans. Just an awful lot of dead bodies on both sides.....
The French fortress city that held off a massive German assault under the command of Henri Pétain was Verdun. The Battle of Verdun, fought from February to December 1916 during World War I, became one of the longest and most grueling battles in history. Pétain famously declared, "They shall not pass," highlighting the determination to defend the city against the German offensive. The battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, but Verdun remained under French control.
They shall not pass
For a number of months the French had been taking severe losses at Verdun - to the east of Paris. To relieve the French, the Allied High Command decided to attack the Germans to the north of Verdun therefore requiring the Germans to move some of their men away from the Verdun battlefield thus relieving the French. Basically, the French wanted the Germans to get off their land.
Did you mean Battle of Verdun? If you did, then it took place in Verdun! Verdun is a little north of Paris, France. Back when WWI started, Verdun was a big city, nowadays though, it is just a small town. Hope that helped!
