Beschreibung

Fighting insurgents has always been one of the greatest challenges for regular armed forces during the 20th century. The war between the Germans and the French resistance, also called FFI, during World War II has remained a near-forgotten chapter in the history of these 'Small Wars'. This title includes a discussion about this battle.
