#OTD May 18 1941
(Note: Inspired by the Strike of the 100,000, in the French province of Pas-de-Calais (part of the same German administrative area as Belgium) a strike on 27 May lasted until 9 June, by 17,000 miners (around 80 percent of the regional total) out to protest pay and food shortages. Mass anti-Nazi strikes also broke out in the Netherlands and Norway in 1941, and Luxembourg in 1942. )*
