Talk:Maquis (World War II)

message: They were probably all riddled with spys, agents, and traders.
The article says "some maquisards did commit atrocities." Any source for this?Manormadman (talk) 14:53, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The whole French Resistance had very little effect on the German war effort. In fact, the whole French population was quite friendly with the Germans. (Well some people were lazy, they didnt want to do da forced labor thingy. :) ) Of course, De Gaulle had his minor resistance against the Germans, so after the war his goverment started a state-funded propaganda campaign to build the "legend" of the Maquis...maybe he wanted to make the next generations believe, that their parents and grandparents didnt help the Germans to commit their war-crimes. Even nowadays, films are made about the great resistance, for example "Charlotte Gray"...it seems that misinformation campaign succeeded.
: Bet your a Yank with nothing better to do than make ignorant comments. History paints a very different picture from the one you present. The French resistance played a fundamental role in the Second World War. You make me sick!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.116.105 (talk) 18:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: In Spain, the term Maquis commonly refers to spaniards who had fled to france after the spanish civil war, but continued to carry out guerrilla attacks in spain against the fascist government there. shouldn't there be a mention of this? Murderbike 07:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In the Operations section there is this statement:
:In French Indochina, the local resistance fighting the Japanese since 1941 was backed up by a special forces airborne commando unit created by de Gaulle in 1943, and known as the Corps Léger d'Intervention (CLI). They were supplied by airlifts of the British Force 136.
The sentence seems out of place here, as there is no direct mention of how this resistance movement relates to the Maquis, other than there was an organized resistance.  Resistance movements exist in most wars, but they are not generally called Maquis.  I think it should be removed, or rewritten to establish the relationship.Bruno talk 19:07, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Currently there appears to be a typo in the quote from the H. R. Kedward article on the origins of the word in French - "being pursued by people with and intent to arrest or kill".  I presume the intended phrase was "with an intent".  Is anyone in a position to check the source material and see whether the typo was introduced into Wikipedia (and therefore correct it), or whether the typo was present in the source article (and thus perhaps add a "[sic]")?
