The French Resistance during WWII

The French Resistance was a collective movement during World War II that opposed Nazi occupation in France from 1940 to 1944. Comprised of various groups, including civilians, former soldiers, and political activists, they conducted sabotage, provided intelligence to the Allies, and helped Allied soldiers escape. Their efforts were crucial in gathering support for the liberation of France and undermining German authority. The Resistance also fostered a sense of national unity and courage among the French populace. Their actions contributed to the eventual liberation of France after the D-Day landings in June 1944.
