In the night between 6 and 7th. July, they started on their activities in the Sales Valley. After that, the Sales partisans' group came into being, and a strong and tight net of adherents to Liberation Front spread all over the neighbourhood. At the beginning of October, three Styrian partisans'groups united into the 1st Styrian battalion in those parts; in the night between October 7th and S«1, that battalion made a successful attack on Šoštanj, after which, for the first time, the Germans shot hostages in the Sales Valley.
