The massif du Vercors is a prominent scenic plateau region in the French départements of Isère and Drôme in Eastern France. It was used by the rural Free French Resistance ("maquis") group, known as the Maquis du Vercors, as a refuge and a sanctuary for the French Resistance against the 1940-1944 German occupation of France in World War II. Many members of the maquis, called "maquisards" died fighting in 1944 in the Vercors Plateau.

dbpprop:abstract
  • The massif du Vercors is a prominent scenic plateau region in the French départements of Isère and Drôme in Eastern France. It was used by the rural Free French Resistance ("maquis") group, known as the Maquis du Vercors, as a refuge and a sanctuary for the French Resistance against the 1940-1944 German occupation of France in World War II. Many members of the maquis, called "maquisards" died fighting in 1944 in the Vercors Plateau.
  • Vercorsin kapina oli Ranskan vastarintaliikkeeseen kuuluneen sissiarmeijan yritys nousta natsi-Saksan miehittäjiä vastaan toisen maailmansodan aikana. Vercorsin sissit perustivat Vapaan Vercorsin tasavallan 3. heinäkuuta 1944 Vercorsin ylängölle alpeille kaakkois-Ranskassa. Tämä lyhytaikainen valtio oli ensimmäinen demokraattinen alue Ranskassa sitten vuoden 1940 antautumisen.
  • Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le maquis du Vercors fut une importante base de la Résistance française réfugiée dans le massif du Vercors, véritable forteresse naturelle.
