Marcoing (French pronunciation: [maʁkwɛ̃]) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.
[3] During World War I, there was an alleged incident between a British soldier named Henry Tandey and Adolf Hitler in this area.
Hitler was unarmed and appeared wounded, so Tandey chose not to shoot and allowed him to walk-off unharmed.
Later, a line to Cambrai opened.
