FRANCES HIDDEN ARMY
BY JERRY MASON
BY JERRY MASON

As this goes to press there has been no IN
vasion anywhere in Western Europe. But
when such an invasion reaches France, this
work of the Silent Army will be doubled
and trebled.
These are facts. But more exciting than
the facts themselves are the human stories
behind the facts. can tell some of those
stories because have been able to find and
talk to few of the men who have lived them.
They are men who escaped from France to do
definite jobs. BY now most of them have gone
back again.
First, let me tell you the story of the huge
band of patriots hidden in the maquis - the
hills - of France. l met one of the maquis
soldiers who was IN the us. on a special
mission. This is what he said:
Il originally escaped to the hills of Savoy
in the winter of 1912. My only idea. then, was
to get away from the German labor draft
l would rather die than work for the Nazis
/ soon found that thousands of my country
men felt the way did.
Some of us - just tiny part - had

weapons. Army guns. pistols, hunting rifles.
We lived like animals For food and clothing,
we had to depend ON what the people IN the
nearby towns gave us or what we could steal
from German supply oenters."
When the Nazis began sending IN troops
to get them, those who had military training
began to use it. They started to develop an
army of patriots. They admitted peasants
and doctors and workers and Boy Scouts
They admitted Communists and Royalists
and Democrats, and they built an organiza-
ton. They trained the new recruits. enforced
discipline They learned how TO make ono
rifle do the work of five. They organised
raiding expeditions that went smoothly.
Our organization" the maquis soldier
said, lis good Each troop has troop ch,ei'
a chief for each hundred man group. camp
chief and regional chief. We set up training
courses for new officers. Experts taught sabo-
tage technique to new recruits. Every recruit
when he joins us, pledges his life"
asked what they did for supplies. He sad:

train isn't drailed, bridge blown up, or a
Nazi killed. In February alone there were
1,5OO "acts of resistance" - 538 of them
against railroads, 254 against industrial in
stallations. And that's only sample of what
will happen when the invasion comes

lHs is what an Englishman, one of the few
recognized authorities On the Silent Army,
told me just after he arrived in this country:
4The Silent Army is definitely something
our own armies can count ON - and they are
counting on it may tell you that its work
is the equivalent of the work of many whole
divisions of Rangers and Commands. If
the men of the Silent Army were not doing it,
our men and your men would have to be in
there doing it,
