About

As the Allied troops stormed the D-Day beaches, the Vercors rose up to fight in a planned rearguard action. It was to prove not only the largest Resistance action of the war but also the most brutal crushing of resistance forces in Western Europe. The tragedy drew the attention of the Allied war effort and placed the Vercors deep into the history of modern France which resonates still in the country's daily life and politics.
