Regional organization of the French Resistance
The Armée secrète, created in 1943, was an organisation of French resistance fighters during World War II set up by Jean Moulin.[1] It resulted from an amalgamation of three smaller resistance groups:
It was mainly operative in the south of France, for instance in the Rhône-Alpes region (R1) and in the Massif Central (Auvergne ( R6), Limousin (R5), the southeast (R2) and southwest (R4). It corresponds to the organization used by Combat.[2]
In 1944, the Armée secrète made up the French forces of the interior along with the Organisation de résistance de l'armée and the National Front (FTP; Francs-tireurs et partisans français).
