Resistance Revenge
Hitler’s Last Stand 5
In July of 1944, French resistance fighters called Maquisards declare a Free French Republic on the remote Vercors plateau in eastern France to support the Allied invasion of Normandy. In response, the Nazi occupiers dispatch 10,000 German soldiers from elite airborne and mountain units to crush their rebellion by whatever means necessary.
