Resistance during World War II

During World War II, "Resistance" refers to various underground movements in occupied countries fighting against Nazi rule. These groups, composed of locals and sometimes exiled soldiers, engaged in sabotage, espionage, and the dissemination of anti-Nazi propaganda. Notable resistances included the French Resistance, which gathered intelligence and assisted Allied forces, and the Polish Home Army, which organized uprisings and provided support for national sovereignty. Resistance efforts played a crucial role in undermining German control, providing intelligence to Allies, and boosting morale among oppressed populations, ultimately contributing to the war's outcome.
