Thousands of people were involved in the French resistance. Many were French men and women, but the British and later in the war the Americans were involved, primarily as organizers. Winston Churchill instigated the SOE (Special Operations Executive) and tasked them to" Set Europe ablaze". Though SOE were not exclusive to France and worked in most theatres of the war from France through Belgium,Holland Chechoslovakia,Poland and even the far East such as Burma.
F section was the SOE section for France and was run by Maurice Buckmaster with Vera Atkins as his assistant. Many very brave men and women were in the ranks of F section (Violet Szabo, Peter Churchill (No relation to Winston) Yvonne Basedon, Noor Inyat Khan (a Sufi Princess) and many many more. But the SOE were not the only resistants, In the latter years special units known as Jedburghs were sent in, these usually consisted of 3 men, 1 Brit, 1 French and 1 American. The Maquis were also resistants, mainly young Frenchmen hiding in the hills and woodlands to avoid being sent to Germany as forced labour. They were usually trained and armed by British officers and/or members of SOE. One outstanding example was George Millar, a young Englishman that fought alongside the Maquis.
The strange thing is, virtually as soon as Paris was liberated, General de Galle told the British and American resistants they were no longer welcome and told them to leave France immediately!!

In Number the Stars peter and lise were involved with the?
In Number the Stars, Peter and Lise were involved with the Danish Resistance movement during World War II. They worked to help smuggle Jews out of Denmark to safety in Sweden. Their bravery and sacrifices were instrumental in saving many lives during this dark time.
How does shape and air resistance can effect the laws of gravity?
It doesn't. The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, and their distance. However, air resistance can introduce other forces, that counteract the force of gravity.
What are the steps involved in finding the signal gain for a common-emitter BJT amplifier?
The signal gain of a CE BJT amplifier is hFe or collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, whichever is less.
What are the two forces involved when doing work?
The two forces involved when doing work are the applied force that you exert on an object, and the resistance force acting against the applied force, which is typically the force of gravity or another opposing force. Work is done when the applied force overcomes the resistance force to move an object.
What is the difference between active and passive resistance used by slaves on plantations?
Active resistance by slaves on plantations involved open rebellion, sabotage, or escape attempts, while passive resistance included behaviors such as feigning illness, working slowly, or pretending ignorance to undermine the system. Active resistance was more direct and confrontational, while passive resistance was subtle and non-violent.

When Gandhi said that satyagraha is and active resistance he meant that this was war without any violence. This one of the most influential movements hat Gandhi was involved in.
What war was the US involved in from 1963 to 1975?
The Vietnam war. Or the Resistance War Against America.
When checking resistance does the power have to be off?
Short answer: yes. Most modern multimeters will not be damaged by external power when measuring resistance. But they will give erroneous readings. It is best to remove the power and disconnect the measured resistance from the larger circuit. A multimeter determines resistance by applying a small voltage, and measuring the resulting current. If the resistor has an external voltage source, then it will interfere with the measurement. Furthermore, if the resistance is connected to a larger circuit, then the resistance of this larger circuit will also be involved.
What factors contribute to the resistance experienced in electrical circuits, and how is this resistance caused by the properties of the materials involved?
Resistance in electrical circuits is caused by factors such as the type of material used, the length and thickness of the wire, and the temperature. Materials with high resistance, like insulators, impede the flow of electric current. The resistance is caused by the properties of the materials, such as the number of free electrons available for conduction and the atomic structure that hinders the movement of electrons.
What countries were involved with the battle of the bulge?
In total, there were 7 countries involved with the Battle of the Bulge (6 allies and 1 axis). The allies were; US, UK, Canada, Belgium, France and Luxemburg resistance. The axis country was Nazi Germany.
