The Francs-Tireurs et Partisans (FTP) was a French resistance group formed during World War II. Established in 1941, it aimed to fight against the German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy regime. The FTP was known for its guerrilla tactics, including sabotage and attacks on German forces, and it played a significant role in the broader French Resistance movement. The group was primarily composed of communists, but it also included members from various political backgrounds. The FTP worked closely with other resistance organizations and contributed to the liberation of France in 1944. Their efforts helped to inspire future generations in the fight against oppression.
