French Resistance
Father Camille Folliet, a French Roman Catholic priest, lends his support and advises the French Resistance behind a barricade during the Battle for Paris, which took place from August 19, 1944 until the surrender of the occupying German garrison on August 25, 1944. The Liberation of Paris started with an uprising by the Resistance against the German garrison.
