EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of hope and determination among the Maquis resistance fighters in North West Europe during World War Two. In the image, American bombers fly overhead, dropping vital supplies to the brave men and women hiding in the forests and mountains, fighting against the Nazi occupation. The Maquis, associated with the French Resistance Forces, are seen in the left hand corner of the picture, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the parachutes. The supplies, essential for their survival, include food, ammunition, and medical aid. The year was 1944, and the tide of the war was turning. The Allied forces were making their way across Europe, pushing back the German army. The Maquis played a crucial role in this effort, providing intelligence, disrupting enemy communications, and engaging in guerrilla warfare. The aerial drops of supplies were a vital lifeline, helping to sustain their efforts and keep the resistance alive. The photograph is part of a collection of 650 images compiled by the Commando Association, offering a unique insight into the experiences of those involved in the war. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Maquis and the Allied forces during this pivotal period in history. It is a testament to the resilience and courage of those who fought against the odds to bring about the end of the war and the liberation of Europe.
