Resistance Warfare 1940-45 (Men-at-Arms)»rank: 211637by: Carlos Jurado
: :The occupation of Western Europe by the Wehrmacht brought about the birth of resistance movements in all the countries affected – and also collaborationist movements, directly opposed to the resistance. The war against Germany became a civil war, more or less violent, within each country. For many years since the end of the Second World War the resisters have been presented in a universally heroic light – the collaborators, as criminals. Today, this simplistic version of events can hardly be sustained. Carlos Caballero Jurado's fascinating book explores the true story of resistance warfare in the occupied countries. |
