Resistance during World War II occurred in every occupied country by a variety of means like guerilla warfare, sabotage, propaganda, disinformation, hiding refugees and aiding the other side (like helping stranded pilots).
Many countries had resistance movements dedicated to fighting the Axis invaders. Germany itself also had an anti-Nazi resistance movement. Although mainland Britain did not suffer invasion in World War II, the British made preparations for a British resistance movement in the event of a German invasion.
