A comprehensive and compelling history of the resistance movements
that operated in every German-occupied nation between 1939 and
1941. Even though much of Europe eventually succumbed to the Nazis
during World War II, many Europeans defiantly resisted occupation
in every way possible. This captivating book provides a survey of
these resistance movements during the period of Axis occupation and
recounts the ways in which unarmed citizens undermined Nazi efforts
at domination. A thorough description of the Axis conquest of
Europe, the formation of the Special Operations Executive in
Britain, and the Office of Strategic Services in the United States
provides a backdrop for this turbulent time in history. Chapters
cover the resistance organizations, their leaders, and other key
individuals behind their operations. The book details the
movement's furtive tactics that included spreading information,
providing the Allies with key intelligence, conducting industrial
sabotage, destroying bridges and factories, and fighting behind the
lines. Case studies of resistance operations in France, Norway,
Holland, Denmark, Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, the
Balkans, Greece, Italy, and within Nazi Germany itself show the
scope and breadth of the resistance movement throughout the world.
