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.

Love how the French Resistance went from being overrated to being underrated.
The same thing that happened to Germany's WW1 guilt, from "Germany was 100% guilty" to "Germany was 100% innocent".
Like people can't understand the truth is in-between....
Germany was innocent. They were just extremely unlucky with their ally system
@@gronkhfan541 They were also even more unlucky with their human rights system.
@@mapleflag6518 He was talking about WW1
@@gronkhfan541 when German kaiser Wilhelm encouraged Austrian emperor Franz Joseph to go on and invade Serbia while war hadn't broke yet, then innocent is not really a word that fits.
Like in Iraq, these were probably mostly sectarian fighters who caused chaos and disorder after an honourable surrender.
My great grandfather was a military and entered in the resistance when the Toulon fleet has been scuttled. He was killed by the Nazis at only 19. But I'm really proud of him

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.

In fact the resistance was so effective that they took back big towns such as Annecy without the need of ally forces deployment.
Cheers to them
Yeah a lot of folk over rate the Mauis these days. For the large militia group they were, they were purty damn efficient and effective. It’s pretty impressive how they were able to operate throughout Vichy France from 1940 to 1944 without being shutdown. Kudos to them.

My grand aunt is married to a French and his uncle gave information to the French military before they surrendered and he and his family even saved an American paratrooper from the Nazis. They didn’t do much for the resistance but they did help as much as they could.
My great grand uncle parachuted into Europe the night before D Day his squad met up with a French resistance group and together they blew up a train bridge to slow the Nazis down.
And that's why it annoys me when someone says "The French have abandoned the Second World War like cowards"
No one really thinks that tbh. Its mostly toxic 12 year olds who constantly make those disrespectful "jokes".

If you look at what the Resistance did They were laughably ineffective
Just imagine how these French resistance fighters felt when the Allies finally helped retake France. Running alongside troops and over powering their invaders, that must have felt so exhilarating to have finally accomplished such a seemingly impossible feat.
Hum... We don't really need to imagine our families for many French had people in the resistance and were there, and they told us
Byronthecrusader as a History teacher I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. When we lived in France (twice) we were honored to be able to meet some of those same people. They were heroes.

Lmao white flag
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.
Tbh only 12 y.o kids take memes seriously and you gotta be either blind or a brain damaged to underrate France's power.
@Pérol Pérol It was white because of the fact that white was seen as '' pure ''. And during most of the time, it wasn't full white, it only had a white background.Even their soldier wore white ( Rip cleaning ) uniforms. In general, monarchs aren't the smartest one in the bunchs, simply the luckiest.
@@kerimhudayberdiyev7484 The problem is that it seem that a lot of persons are either blind or brain damaged as do not use '' french surrender aha'' as a joke ,but rather a insult.
its so cool to see communist,conservitives,liberals,anarchist,men and women to fight for the same objective
Except they weren't when USSR and III Reich were allies.
Communists were collaborators, back then : don't forget, the red scum were traitors from the start and would keep betraying France in every conflict after WW2 and giving intel to USSR.
@Omnicide Dreams French communists never accepted that Germans occupy France and the first call to resistance in France was made by a communist deputy, Charles Tillon, the June 17th 1940 where he calls all the French communists to not accept the hitlerian facism and to fight against it. So shut up about French communists because you don't know their history and you insult their memory.
@@dreamtyx8502 And several communist figures from that time collaborated more than happily. The first call for resistance might have been from a communist deputy, yet the first groups organizing said resistance were made up of peeps from the far right under the umbrella of Mauras and other far right figures, whereas the communist stood by doing jackshit to help and even collaborated occasionnaly.
So yeah communists are scum and we shall spit on their graves as often as possible.

As already posted, the communists might have been the first to call against the fascists it was the right that did the brunt of the fighting. Communists are swine and cannot be trusted then and now.

**Sad German Residence Noises**
@General GTA no
Mr presidents ghost pls tell me if you have ever met Conor kenavy
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.
Thank you for making this video.
Most of British and American movies about WWII tend to overlook or ignore the French resistance even though Eisenhower himself said it plaid a decisive part in the final victory. 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.

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.

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 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 🧼. Que Dieu benis les Francais et je prie que un jour ils vont tourner leurs coeurs vers Lui. Que le Seigneur benis la France et son peuple!
My French grandfather immigrated to America in the time between the world wars, but returned to France via Normandy in 1944 while serving in the U.S. Army infantry. He distinctly reminisced that the Germans were good at being prisoners. Vive la démocratie!

The weeping Frenchman, 1940
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.
Very interesting video, could you make an episode about the Polish Resistance ?
Could you do a polish resistance video? It was much larger and more developed than the French one, but less equipped.
Dogemacht42 Legit. I see the French resistance take the crown of being the most influential resistance back in WW2. They did do some, but different groups didn't work together if barely at all. The Polish is where it's at. But I do give the French credit where credit is due.
Jonathan Williams yeah. They were all captured and killed unfortunately, the last of them died in 1963 or 1962 I think.
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.
due to lack of Stalin's care which he purposely let it happen.
Poland is one badass country, dominated but never conquered, and look what happened to the countries that dominated Poland.

There's a mountain in South Eastern France near mount Aiguille where a group of French resistance all died holding back a German army. They have memorials up the mountain path and their graves lie on the upper plateau.
I have a French friend who’s great grandfather heavily supported Vichy France, he fought in the Waffen SS for French. The reason he supported it was because he hated multi culturalism, and when the war was over he was upset because all the Muslims began pouring in.
