Franc-Tireurs et Partisans

Franc-Tireurs et Partisans was a French resistance movement during World War II that opposed German occupation. "Franc-Tireurs" refers to guerrilla fighters who operated behind enemy lines, using surprise attacks and sabotage. "Partisans" were organized groups engaged in irregular warfare to disrupt German supply lines, gather intelligence, and support the Allied efforts. These fighters were made up of civilians, former soldiers, and others committed to liberating France. Their activities contributed significantly to weakening German control and boosting morale among the French population during the occupation.
