The French Resistance (World War II)

Please consider supporting our videos on Patreon
/ simplehistory
Resistance soon took place in different ways after Charles de Gaulle encouraged the fight to continue after the impending German occupation. Groups such as the Maquis - were men and women who avoided Vichy France’s forced labor by hiding in the mountains. They used violent means and guerrilla warfare tactics, attacking the Milice and the German occupiers and sabotaging their communication lines and vehicles.

    Did you know? Many résistants were disgusted by the mass influx of new members in the last days of the struggle, nicknaming them the FFS (Forces Françaises de Septembre-French Forces of September) or the ‘Septemberists’, as all these people had tried to get glory in September 1944 when it was safe. De Gaulle tried to keep SOE agents out of Paris, in an attempt to rewrite history, he wanted the French resistance to be seen as an effective united movement or an "nation in arms" from 1940 to 1944 that didn't have any British or American assistance.

And I'm not even talking about anti French jokes which are just a spit in the faces of the people we lost and those who suffered greatly... My great frather and so many others sacrificed their lives so we could be free again. he was a local leader of the resistance. Him and so many others were tortured and assassinated. A hero to the end, he never gave any name to the Nazis and died standing. Please, remember them. Please, never let the nazis and their kind win again. And of course let's not forget those who didn't partake directly within resistance network but who risked their lives as well.

    Everyone should google the battle of Bouvines, or the battle of Fontenoy, or the battle of Rocroi, or Patay, or Denain, incredible French victories. France also beat coalised Europe 5 times in a row, from 1792 to 1809 (it's the "five coalitions"): Austerlitz is one of the greatest victories of all time, not to mention Iéna, Friedland, Auerstedt.... They also stopped the islamic invasion of Europe in 732 at the battle of Tours, then again in 759.

    The German resistance was highly disorganized. The organization was similar to the initial issues that the French resistance encountered. Some wanted to make territorial changes such as letting Danzig (Poland) part of Germany, some wanted Hitler dead, some even wanted a return to old school pre-Weimar Republic government. Messed up. But the resistance existed in many ways - White Rose with the nonviolent ways formed by university students, prominent for Sophie Scholl, the other was within the military circles. The military circle of resistance was the most interesting of all. As early as before 1939 the Abwehr, the intelligence division had many conspirators. Resistance was fueled by some high ranking German officials when they witnessed the aftermath of the invasion of Poland, witnesses of atrocities. By 1942 it was getting stronger. Some figures included Hans Oster, Henning von Tresckow, Friedrich Olbricht, and other key military figures in Berlin. They planned to kill Hitler using a liquor bomb and place it in a plane to make it look like it was attacked by Soviet fighters. Also before that they even planned to kill Hitler via a suicide mission while in a uniform presentation. By 1944 the target Hitler is becoming more isolated. We all know what happened from here on out.

    Few words about Jean Moulin would have been great : he was the symbol of the French resistance. Following the orders of Charles de Gaule, he was blind parachuted in the alps in 1942, with the mission to unificate the main resistance groups. He reached his objective, but was captured by the Gestapo in 1943. He died, presumably under torture, without throwing a single word.

    My grandfather (that I was named after) fought in Verdun, France against the Nazis. We got to visit the battlefield when we lived in France. He suffered the effects from exposure to mustard gas for many years after the war, when he returned home to Florida. As a kid living in Sedan, France 🇫🇷 I always found it upsetting to hear the young French people making fun of the US and it’s people. But we noticed that when we travelled to the South of France, the people loved Americans and we were invited to share meals with several families. They often told us that they remembered the GIs coming into their villages, kicking out the Germans, and giving the people free chocolate, cigarettes and soap 🧼.

    Its commonly overlooked but 'the french resistance' was a few hundred groups; they fought against eachother much more than the germans. Probably why it had a few downvotes as it missed crucial parts ?

    Many people like to think that France was weak for surrendering, but at least this shows how strong the Resistance to fight the Axis powers were. It shows the tenacity of one nation when pushed into a corner and deciding to bite back against those who tried to keep a tight grip on their way of life. I know in Marvel Comics that Captain America in the main comics has a lot of respect for the people in the French Resistance because of how they fought even if the odds were against them.

    My great grandpa lived in the Spanish French border and volunteer for the French resistance during world war 2, he fought for 3 years, until being wounded in action. After the war he went back to Spain during Franco's dictatorship. After that he migrated to Mexico with my grandpa as young man. My dad was born in Mexico and I am now a proud Mexican, but history matters. That's why to this day I have love to eat snails, which freaks most people I know. XD

    Indeed the Spanish had to suffer a fascist attack 3 years before the rest of Europe. Spain provided a training ground to Hitler and Mussolini, helping Franco. What a mistake from France and other nations not to have helped the Spanish Republicans. Only the International Brigades helped, with famous names as Ernest Hemingway, André Malraux or Georges Orwell. But from 1940 Spanish Republicans then fought with the Free Forces of France, and in particular were the first troops to enter Paris in 1944.

    RadiationReactor I do agree, that the French were not wusses at this, but the poles had a much better and more organized resistance, plus they almost took Warsaw by themselves in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. Unfortunately they lost the battle due to the lack of Soviet and therefore allies support.

    Alot of people make fun of the French government for surrendering (mainly the British and the Americans) however both of them are islands. France was litteraly connected go Germany and Italy making it easy for the Nazi's to invade with tanks and troops. In fact the French are hero's because at Dunkerque they stayed behind and risked their lives so the British troops could flee back to the UK. Merci les français pour votre aide à Dunkerque et pour votre aide pendant la guerre. C'est triste que les gens pensent que vous êtes des (cowards, je connais pas le mot en français) mais en fait sans vous l'Amérique n'existerais pas.
