The Resistance
Many forms of resistance existed and were implemented.
Today the clandestine life and army of the Resistance are known as the most successful forms of opposition and the most heroic, but they also bore the greatest risk. Reducing the opposition to the occupier to this single armed Resistance movement gives a distorted view of reality, as one cannot simplify everything to a mere clash between resistant and collaborator. There were many ways to resist: guerrilla warfare, sabotage, subversive speech, the clandestine press, spiritual resistance, assistance to outcasts; all examples of what is generally called the civilian Resistance.
