Who were the French Resistance Fighters?

After Germany began its Blitzkrieg, the French Officials stated that the Maginot Line is heavily fortified and heavy in defenses. The speed of the Blitzkrieg however, made it pass the Maginot Line and the French Civilians were in uttered shock. After seeing this, French had declared a surrender to Germany. The French people were angered that their government do anything and this is how the resistance started. Many French civilians decided to create a resistance against Germany and it was successful. German Lines were spied on, railways and supply lines broken, and intel from the Resistance helped the Allied Forces push Germany back.

How did the French Resistance managed to fight against the German Nazis?

French had many allies like Britain, USA, and many more, but their allies are pretty far away. How did they get their weapons and helmets? After the Allies stormed Normandy, the Germans left behind many things like mortars, guns, and even helmets. This gave the resistance an armory. They wanted to take what was theirs because it was given to the Nazis like a present that easily. The Nazis were powerful in numbers but what they didn't know was the territory. The French people used this to their advantage by giving intel to the allies on where German supply lines were, outposts, armories, and many more. In 1940, Charles de Gaulle decided to help the French people by giving them weapons, food, and water so that they can have a fighting chance against the oppression of the Nazis.

Many children also helped in the French Resistance including giving water and food to the injured and US Paratroopers. They also did many more things. I'm also surprised that the children actually resisted a lot of the Germans because they didn't know who these invaders were.

There are many things that the French Resistance did. Some were like blowing up supply lines and bridges. They also helped the Allies with intel like on D-Day and also the Liberation of Paris and many other towns. When the allies would attack a piece of land that they didn't know; the French Resistance would provide them with intel on the land and many vital key points that the germans held. After the war, the French Resistance was disbanded and they lived a peaceful way of life. The amazing thing is that they resisted Germany until their liberation which was around 5 years of oppression from the Nazis.
