resistance fighter

Resistance during World War II

Resistance movements during World War II occurred in every occupied country by a variety of means, ranging from non-cooperation, disinformation and propaganda to hiding crashed pilots and even to outright warfare and the recapturing of towns. In many countries, resistance movements were sometimes also referred to as The Underground. Among the most notable resistance movements were the Yugoslav Partisans, the Polish Home Army, the Soviet partisans, the French Resistance, the Italian CLN, the Norwegian Resistance, the Greek Resistance and the Dutch Resistance. Many countries had resistance movements dedicated to fighting the Axis invaders, and Germany itself also had an anti-Nazi movement. Although Britain was not occupied during the war, the British made preparations for a British resistance movement, called the Auxiliary Units, in the event of a German invasion. Various organizations were also formed to establish foreign resistance cells or support existing resistance movements, like the British SOE and the American OSS. There were also resistance movements fighting against the Allied invaders.
