- Title
LA RÉSISTANCE A-T-ELLE, À L'OUEST, ÉTÉ UN PHÉNOMÈNE EUROPÉEN?
- Authors
Wieviorka, Olivier
- Abstract
Historians generally consider resistance in Europe as a national phenomenon. This vision is certainly accurate, but forgets one important datum: the Allies have played a decisive part in European resistance, by recognizing (or not) governments in exile, by authorizing (or not) the free access to the BBC, and by using their secret services (mainly the Special Operations Executive, SOE, and the Office of Strategic Services, OSS). This article tries to show how this action has shaped resistance in Western Europe, and given to the Anglo-Americans a leading part in clandestine action--even if national powers, in one way or another, have resisted this hegemony.
