With the arrival of the Allies in Normandy, many in France believed their liberation would follow within weeks if not days. The Communist FTP partisans believed that they would now have to take matters into their own hands or see their power in the Correze region swept aside by history. So in defiance of every order they had received through London, and of every rule of guerilla warfare and common prudence, they attempted to seize and control the sleepy town of Tulle.

The French Resistance was the collection of French movements that fought against the Nazi German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy régime during the Second World War. Resistance cells were small groups of armed men and women, 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 Resistance came from all economic levels and political leanings of French society, including émigrés, academics, students, aristocrats, conservative Roman Catholics, Jews, liberals, anarchists and communists.
