- Abstract
- In occupied Belgium and France, citizens opposed the German army with organized but non-violent resistance. They created networks dedicated to military intelligence gathering, escape lines, clandestine postal networks and underground newspapers. Many of the networks were dismantled by the German secret police but those executed for their resistance became national heroes.
