The Resistance (French)

The French Resistance was a collection of groups in France during World War II that secretly opposed Nazi occupation and the collaborationist government. They engaged in activities like gathering intelligence for the Allies, sabotaging German operations, and helping Jews and others escape persecution. Operating covertly, they used clandestine communication, underground newspapers, and guerrilla tactics to undermine the occupiers. Their efforts played a crucial role in weakening German control and aiding the eventual Allied liberation of France. The Resistance symbolized national unity and courage against tyranny, becoming a vital part of France’s history of resilience.
