Answer: Ordinary citizens that wanted to fight Germany.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the German occupation of France and the creation of a collaborationist government in the country, ordinary citizens decided to resist the Nazis. They were people from all walks of French society. They tried to fight the Nazis by guerrilla warfare. Both men and women took part in the movement. Providing information to the Allies, retaliation, surprise attacks were some of the methods used against the Nazis.
