Hi robjohnson,
I think the defiant words were: "They shall not pass!"
which was when the officer Henri-Phillipe Petain phoned the commander of the Verdun front line, during the battle, and told him to hold fast.

Either that or it is "Attack at all costs" which were other defiant words that Petain was famous for.

If you want to read all about it, google Verdun 1916 and click onto the Battle of Verdun, where it describes it all.
Good luck.
