FTP (Francs-tireurs et partisans)

FTP (Francs-tireurs et Partisans) was a French resistance group during World War II, actively fighting against occupying Nazi forces and their collaborators. Originating in 1941, it was composed mainly of left-wing militants, including communists, who engaged in sabotage, guerrilla warfare, and intelligence operations. The group aimed to disrupt German military efforts and support the liberation of France. Their actions contributed significantly to the resistance movement, and they played a key role in the broader struggle for France’s liberation from occupation until the war's end in 1945.
