I know that there complex legal questions as to the status of a "peoples' war", and that the situation in international law has changed somewhat since 1945. That having been said - it is very hard, indeed, to call resistants like these "criminals", in any moral sense. They were fighting for the freedom of their country against oppressive foreign occupation and a collaboration regime that was, in terms of the pre-existing French Constitution, illegal. I would not call them "criminals". "Courageous" would be a more appropriate description, in particular, in view of the refusal of the Germans (arguably legal at the time, but ...) to afford them recognition as legitimate combatants. By the way - I am Irish, not French, but we are old friends. Vive la France ! JR

Poasis you're an asshole!From wich country are you?Do you know things on WW2 in France?Can you simply imagine what was life under German occupation?So please,shut up!This girl is an heroin for us ,don't insult her,stupid little bug!

Poasis is an idiot. How to join the army (in 1940) if there is no other army than the collaboration army.

Im a little more forgiving as I call them (resistance/partisans) defenders of their (respective) homelands.

They all are criminals. All partisans and resistance - nothing more than criminals because everyone who wants to resisist joins the army.
