• Resumen

  • From 1940 to 1944, a clandestine war raged in France, with agents and resistance networks being supplied by the Allies. This work brings together digital humanities methodologies, oral history, new archival sources and historiographical analysis to uncover the dangerous nature of wartime logistics and transportation that helped to liberate France. From the Section 61 packing units to N°. 161 (Special Duties) Squadron's Lysander and Hudson pilots, the existing scholarship is clarified and expanded. Moreover, this article cartographically plots French resistance transport operations, underlining the importance of Allied cooperation towards France's freedom from occupation
