The German occupation of France in WWII and the slow development of resistance. It took 14 months before the first German soldier was killed and the public mood changed only as brutality of the occupation forces increased. The author discusses how during the occupation, selfishness, bigotry and cowardice played as great a part as courage and idealism, leaving a poisoned memory.
