Its interesting that the western resistance gets so much 'press' and yet little is mentioned of the Soviets or Balkan resistance... Even Italy gets little coverage.

Maybe it's because they were much more great battles and high intensity combat or maybe the soviet wanted to praise only the role of the red army.
The balkan resistance is well- known as well as the french or polish resistance bt it was certainly less important than in Belarus, ukraine or russia were they were red army officers and soldiers who became partisans.But, i think the resistance is l porportionnal to the importance of the front. They were much more fierce battles in the east, much more exactions... and more resistance.
