Training secretly at night with their two tines pitchforks and "butter kettle" tanks, the rural men became an elite force under the command of three star general Édouard Michelin. Late that same summer the 1st Light Escargot Regiment was put into action striking north from Troyes in what is known as the Butter Battle of Bar-sur-Aube (not to be confused with the Butter Battle, see the Book). With B-25 Mitchell bombers modified to drop boiling water, the Germans were easy to pry out of their shells. A lone woman was responsible for the slaying, preparing and serving 3 Panzersnaillen alone. She was later to bring her prowess back to American shores.  Mrs Julia Child's heroism and great taste are celebrated to this day by the carving of Butter Busts at state fairs across the nation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okYwZ6BlR5Y" “The resistance was called up from the farms and dairies all across southern France that spring.
