Partisans for important on all fronts, breaking communications, blowing bridges, attacking supply convoys, disrupting reinforments and so on. Withour the paritisans they invaded would have an easier time at contiuning an attack. Just look at the Normandy landings in 1944, partisans blew bridges and cut commuications allowing the allies to land more 'freely'(not that the landing was easy). The same would go for the Eastern front just plain being a menace to the invading germans, the germans would have to divert troops to deal with the resistance and station reserve troops all over there rear sectors just to make sure that the reinforcements and supplies get to the front, just look at what the warsaw uprising did to the germans in the rear guard although that was not about disrpution but about liberating themselves before the soviets arrived, but it still casued alot of havoc.
