The Belgian Resistance was a movement during World War II that opposed the German occupation of Belgium. It consisted of various groups and individuals who engaged in acts of sabotage, intelligence gathering, and support for the Allies. The resistance played a crucial role in undermining German operations and aiding the escape of Allied soldiers and Jewish people. Members of the Belgian Resistance often faced severe reprisals from the Germans, including imprisonment and execution. Despite these dangers, they worked to spread information and maintain morale among the population. Their efforts contributed to the eventual liberation of Belgium in 1944.
