Les Compagnons de la Libération
Grenoble

The story of a proud and courageous city that paid a high price for its insurrection. During the Second World War, the city of Grenoble was marked by the intense activity of the Groupes Francs (groups of resistance fighters). With symbolic explosions, the machine. gunning of Milice headquarters, the theft of the Compulsory Work Service files and the dynamiting of factories, Grenoble had a major impact on the German war effort.
But their ardor ended up costing them dearly, as the Germans retaliated with extreme violence. A war of nerves began, with attack on one side and retaliation on the other. Destruction and explosion versus arrest and shooting. Grenoble. a proud and unyielding city, did not give in and fought on, tirelessly. It paid a heavy price.
