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

I agree with Musso. Women and children victims of a car bomb in a market do not tend much to fire back as opposed to a military convoy, so as 'your' freedom fighters practise more of the former to me they look pretty much like indiscriminate mass murderers, freedom fighters my backside.

In WW2 resistance fighters selected military targets or civilian targets with a military use, for instance the French railway system. They did not murder lots of civilians. That role was reserved to the true terrorists, the Germans. Of course this is nuanced by what was happening in Yugoslavia for instance, where the local fighters "also" fought with the Germans, depending, but there conflict had other roots and implications.
