Partisans

Many partisans died in that battle.

These were Stalin's words to the Soviet partisans.

It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it; nay, absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans. These and a variety of other motives, which affect only the mind of the sovereign, often lead him to engage in wars not sanctified by justice or the voice and interests of his people.

Communist partisans took over the country in 1944.

He joined the partisans.

I joined the ranks of the partisans.

I believe it is my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful. And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election. And they're working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.

In addition to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the activities of the Jewish Partisans, and the heavy involvement of Jews in the Polish and French resistances, many Jews also fought for regular Allied forces. My own great-uncle was a U.S. paratrooper born in Hungary who died storming the beaches of Normandy.
