Siege of Lille 1940

 Here The siege of Lille or Lille pocket (28–31 May 1940)

The defenders of Lille were the only garrison accorded honours of war during the campaign of 1940 and with the defenders of Fort Vaux during the Battle of Verdun in 1916, one of only two French garrisons to receive this distinction by Germany in both world wars.[10]
