The official AHF Resistance Movements quiz thread
We've had several different quizes running here in the forum for a while with great success and now that this new section has been opened, I'm starting one here too..
The rules are very simple:
The first one to post the correct answer to a question, posts a new question (must be on the resistance, either in Germany or in the occupied countries) and so on.

Yup
Correct - spirited away after being held up with his car. Amusingly, the partisans and brit liason who did the actual hold up were apparently able to drive half way round the island by simply slowing up at official roadblocks until the troops registered it was the Generals car, who then saluted and waved them through - nice.
I guess that means it is your turn to post a question!
Kind regards

One of the first know acts of public resistance to German occupation was a small demonstration by secondary school children at the Arc de Triomphe on November 11, 1940. The date was of course the date the Germans has agreed to the Allied terms for an armostace ending World War I. Another ealy act was by a group of scientists and lawyers in Paris who called themselves the Musée de L'Homme group. They were led by Boris Vilde and began publishing a clandestine newspaper calling on the French people to resist the Germans. The Group was infiltrated by a Vichy agent and virtually all the members arrested. They wre sentenced to death. Valentin Feldman, is reported to have yelled at the Vichy firing squad. "Imbeciles, it's for you, too that I die."
The Musée de L'Homme was infiltrated by a supporter of the Vichy government and as a result virtually all of the members were arrested. Vilde, Lewitsky, Feldman, Walter, Andrieu, Nordmann and Ithier were executed. It is claimed that Feldman shouted at the moment of execution: "Imbeciles, it's for you, too that I die." Women members of the group were sent to concentration camps but Tillion, Oddon, Simmonet, Leleu survived and obtained their freedom in 1945.

Right, my turn, I guess…
She belonged to a famous family of Croatian Communists and Freedom Fighters. On 14. September 1944 she was arrested along with her brother. She was considered one of the most beautiful women in Yugoslavian resistance movement. She was a member of SKOJ- Yugoslavian communist youth. Her entire family, apart from one brother, was killed during these months. After horrific ordeals and transports back and forth between concentration camp in Jasenovac and then to Lepoglava she was eventually burned alive allegedly along with 2000 other prisoners, while locked in a train cart.
What was her name?
Cheers,
Branco
