    Approximately 20 yrs ago i travelled to France for a combined business trip and vacation, in advance I’d printed off some photos and transcripts of my father and his experiences during WW2, there were photos of his time in The Netherlands, France, North Africa, and Italy. There were also letters (and a series of post war 1950’s) correspondence from a French family that he’d befriended during the liberation of France.....
    So, late 1990’s early 2000 I’m at CDG airport in Paris baggage area and waiting for my bags, it seemed to take forever but when my bags came off the carousel I was probably the last to exit through customs.....
    I was pulled to the side and asked my details, flights etc and then to open my bags. When then customs officer opened a zipped pocket on my suitcase and removed the folder of WW2 photos and correspondence his demeanour changed from suspicion to super curious; he asked me why I had these ‘war memorabilia photos’ and I explained that it was my first visit to France and that my father had been an allied WW2 veteran.
    I can’t explain how this guy changed from checking my bags to standing to attention and snapping off a salute, I left the customs check area in tears.

    At the 1:16 mark, there is a card indicating the director as being Wyler. My guess is this would be William Wyler, who would go on to direct films like Roman Holliday, and Ben-Hur. During the war, he joined the Army Air Corps, where he made films for the Government. One was Memphis Belle, about a B-17 crew, and it’s mission over Germany. In any case, this would account for the quality of this film, as he would have had access to the best equipment around at the time for his work.

    At 2:20 note the Gamma sign on the wall is the symbol of 'La Milice', the anti-communist militia. At 2:31 there's a Gamma sign on the left of the door just behind the soldier, this building is probably the local HD of "la Milice", this is why the soldiers are firing at the door. These images are from the south of France probably near Marseille. At 2:37 there's an ad on the wall for an insurance company, the address is 50 la Canebière, it's a very famous street of Marseille.

      If it was communist, it couldn't be from 1939 to 1945, first because France was invaded in 1940, so no resistance before that, secondly the French communists were allied to the nazis in 1940, since Soviet Russia was allied to the nazis, and the French communists followed the Russian ones. It's only from June 1941 after the start of Operation Barbarossa that the communists changed side.

It was also the excuse the German Imperial army made in sacking Belgium and murdering Belgium civilians during the early months of WW1. It was not a communist group but rather unorganized armed civilians who took aim at the Prussian army. During WW2 I have no idea who made up the FTPF.

    I lived in Paris for 6 years, we covered Paris , Normandie etc. The Museums of Paris are impressive, they cover WWI extensively. The Time and space given to the Marquis and French resistance I thought was poor. Yes France was occupied and a strange North/South status quo. I believe every Frenchman and woman was in resistance. Today the English and Americans and Russian etc feel they capitulated. I do not see it that way. The French need to be proud of WWII actions. They defended and allowed the British to retreat from Dunkirk and organized an effective Resistance, seen when the Allies invaded. The Allies killed many French in Caen and around Normandie. Seen as the price of freedom. The museums should do more to celebrate the Marquis.

    There is a lot that can be learned from the French Resistance. How to resist and build up an underground force. How to use information and targeted attacs to break a hostile force. How to help the good Desert. How to break free from suppression by violance and fraternisation. In the 20ies General Collins of the IRA used the same tactics, but of course against a human enemy. If the SS or alke ever should come back into a surpressing position ition the same general strategies apply, but learning from the enemy, one will have to understand that the SS introduced Totenkopf Divisions to warfare and that those deserve mid-age, crusader like vengeance. I loved to study everything on General Collins, La Resistance and Mid Age torture prisons.

      Well the French resistance was a disorderly and I’ll disciplined affair. It got better when the allies or the British, could bring it together from London. The myth de Gaulle perpetuated was that France freed itself, with some help from the allies. When Germany was losing the resistance became bolder. There was alot of collaboration and to be fair what should the population do? They needed to get on with their lives. Four million Frenchmen were held in Germany. Not many young men of fighting age around .
      Ireland plays the same myth about the IRA, basically a murder gang, making out Ireland was under occupation.

    На сколько всё это игрушечно и несерьёзно!!!! Настоящая , жестокая война шла только в России и на восточном фронте. " Освобождение Парижа", это всё игрушечная война, где немцы играли в поддавки и драпали, оставляя позиции без боя....
