Default Re: WW2 "Resistance" Vs "Terrorists"?

Sorry but I only agree to some points: the Resistance did kill civilians, including some innocent, especially after the liberation.
If somebody was considered a traitor or a collaborator he would be executed without a trial. Sometimes they were not collaborators but it was an easy way to get rid of a neighbour. It happened in the smallest villages. You don't wanted to give you last cow? you were a traitor and you got a bullet: that's the way it was. You had something to hide , shoot the witness and tell he's a traitor. I have many detailled examples. My point is that there are no "nice guys" and that there are no "noble" fighters either. It's dirty work but it had to be done.
Nothing comparable with fanatics who blow themselves up on a market I perfectly agree with you about that.
