French Resistance Squad

French Resistance Squad

The extraordinary men and women of the French Resistance were fiercely patriotic citizens who risked everything to strike back at the German occupying forces. From sowing disinformation to assassinating German staff and collaborators, to direct attacks on German infrastructure, they prevented thousands of German troops from fighting the Allies at the front.

Armed with captured German weapons, rifles supplied by the Allies and their own local shotguns and hunting rifles, the Maquis used their intimate knowledge of their homeland to keep the German forces on edge, uncertain of where or when the next guerilla strike would come.

The miniatures in this set represent the partisans of the French Forces of the Interior (FFI), but are equally suitable for most resistance forces, be they in Poland, the Soviet Union, or many of the other nations living under the heel of the German boot.
