| - In 1942, Nick Knight is in Lyon working with a Resistance cell when one of their operations turns into a disaster. Several people are killed by the Germans; and only one escapes, mortally injured. Before he dies, Léo warns the cell's leader, Claude that they must have been betrayed by someone in the group; and Claude and Nick decide that the most likely traitor is a man called Giroux, whom neither of them considers wholly trustworthy, since he is a thief. Giroux is questioned, but denies any involvement. Nick is aroused to fury by his insistence on his innocence; then, knowing the other man has seen his vampire side, he kills him. Claude is untroubled, since they would have executed Giroux anyway. Later, however, Nick sees Léo's sister, Marie-Claire, in the company of a German officer. Sure that she must have been the real traitor, he attacks and drains her. Only then does LaCroix suggest, to Nick's horror, that it might be possible that she was actually romancing the officer to gain information to help the Resistance. Since she is now dead, there is, of course, no way to know for sure either way.
- The French Resistance () is the name used to denote the collection of French resistance movements that fought against the Nazi German occupation of France and against the collaborationist Vichy régime during the Second World War. Résistance cells were small groups of armed men and women (called the Maquis in rural areas), who, in addition to their guerrilla warfare activities, were also publishers of underground newspapers, providers of first-hand intelligence information, and maintainers of escape networks that helped Allied soldiers and airmen trapped behind enemy lines. The men and women of the Résistance came from all economic levels and political leanings of French society, including émigrés; academics, students, aristocrats, conservative Roman Catholics (including priests) and also citizens from the ranks of liberals, anarchists and communists. The French Resistance played a significant role in facilitating the Allies' rapid advance through France following the invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, and the lesser-known invasion of Provence on 15 August, by providing military intelligence on the German defences known as the Atlantic Wall and on Wehrmacht deployments and orders of battle. The Résistance also planned, coordinated, and executed acts of sabotage on the electrical power grid, transport facilities, and telecommunications networks. It was also politically and morally important to France, both during the German occupation and for decades afterward, because it provided the country with an inspiring example of the patriotic fulfillment of a national imperative, countering an existential threat to French nationhood. The actions of the Résistance stood in marked contrast to the collaboration of the French regime based at Vichy, the French people who joined the pro-Nazi milice and the French men who joined the Waffen SS. After the landings in Normandy and Provence, the paramilitary components of the Résistance were organised more formally, into a hierarchy of operational units known, collectively, as the French Forces of the Interior (FFI). Estimated to have a strength of 100,000 in June 1944, the FFI grew rapidly and reached approximately 400,000 by October of that year. Although the amalgamation of the FFI was, in some cases, fraught with political difficulties, it was ultimately successful, and it allowed France to rebuild the fourth-largest army in the European theatre (1.2 million men) by VE Day in May 1945.

The FFI was merged with the French Army in November 1944.

- The French Resistance was an underground movement opposing the German occupation of France during World War II. In a holoprogram set in the French village of Sainte Claire in September 1944, several characters, including Brigitte, Katrine, Mademoiselle de Neuf, and two more (played by Tuvok and Neelix) were members of the local Resistance cell. They used the cafe Le Coeur de Lion as a base to monitor German troop movements and relay information to the Allies via radio. The cell received messages from Allied High Command via messages encrypted in British radio transmissions. When US troops attacked the city, the Resistance was supposed to disable German communications and help the Americans free Sainte Claire. To Commandant Karr, however, Katrine claimed that the Resistance may have been active in Paris, but not in a small town like Sainte Claire. (VOY: "The Killing Game") One part of the French resistance was called the "Maquis," a name which was adopted by the 24th century movement. "French Resistance" was, according to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 285) , the name of the holodeck simulation program in "The Killing Game". In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel Trapped in Time, the French Resistance help Miles O'Brien, Jake Sisko, and Nog find a Changeling posing as a Nazi officer.
