Resistance warfare : resistance and collaboration in Western Europe, 1940-1945

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.

In effect, the war against Germany became a civil war within each country. Sought out by the Hohere SS und Polizeifhrer ('High Command of the SS and Police') and often aided by the British Special Operations Executive, the Western European Resistance centred largely on espionage and intelligence-gathering. A companion volume to Men-at-Arms 142: Partisan Warfare 1941-45, this book explores the history of resistance warfare during World War II in Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France and Italy.
