Actually,  there were two resistance movements,  organizations in France in WWII.  The Maquis were communist and La (le?) Resistance ,  who were French nationalists.  Both were somewhat effective against the "Bosch."  Both made great sacrifices to save Allied airmen and others from certain German imprisonment and many times, later execution.  And both were active in the post war trauma that France has undergone since the ending of WWII,  the defeats in Indo China and Algeria.  French military units were allied with either one or the other of those resistance movements post war,  and ensured military defeat and dishonor to France....except for the Foreign Legion,  which has no French citizens.  It is entirely dedicated to the French government in power,  and has been super loyal to the government since its inception.  The Vatican has the Swiss Guards.  France has the Foreign Legion.  Great Britain at one time had several foreign legions,  notably the Gurkha from Nepal and India.
