MEN OF THE MAQUIS - IMAGE SHOWING FRENCH GUERRILLAS FIGHTING IN THE HAUTE SAVOIE.
This is an image from a film made at one of the secret
bases of the Maquis - the French guerrillas who are fighting in the Savoy mountain region. The film
was smuggled out of France to London and shows the
routine life of the guerrillas before Darnand, the Himmler
of France, launched hi main attack on them early in
February 1944.
Their resistance against Vichy and the Germans
(who are having to hold about 6, 000 troops in the district
ready to go into action if necessary) is more than a matter of thorn in the flesh acts of sabotage. They are
laying a solid foundation of offensive hid for the Allied
expeditionary forces when the time comes for the latter
to set about the liberation of France.
Picture shows: A group of young Maquis tommy-gunners training in a mountain fir forest. A dramatic appeal was rebroadcast recently by the BBC to
France or their behalf, asking Frenchmen with hidden arms to join the Maquis, as well as asking workers to strike and patriots to sabotage railways, roads and factories.
