The article presents an outline of actions of the Polish resistance movement in occupied France. Particular attention has been given to soldiers and partisans who, prior to the invasion of allied forces on the European continent, performed heroic deeds demonstrating bravery and courage of a Polish soldier. The liberation struggles of the Polish nation in the past war are a still lively subject that focuses the attention of both historians and the society. The Polish participation in the liberation of France, especially through the activities of the Polish resistance movement as part of the operation under the codename “Continental Action”, is the main subject of this article.
