They may be labeled as outcasts or rebels, but in reality, they're the ones who are brave enough to challenge the status quo and forge their own path. Let's celebrate the black sheep in our lives - the ones who inspire us to think differently, to question the norms, and to embrace our individuality.

Did German soldiers ever surrender to French resistance fighters during World War II?

Of course, during World War II, the French resistance did capture prisonners and entier German collums and garrisons did surrender to the irregulars of the French forces of the interior;

This took place in the south of France, where the French Maquis fixed 10 German divisions totaling more than 400,000 soldiers, including the infamous SS Das Reich division, which had had more than 50% of its initial forces fixed by the French Maquis by the end of June 1944. This division would become infamous for its brutality toward the Maquisard, destroying the entire village of Ouradour-sur-Glane and killing 99 civilians in Tulle.

Although Domique Lormier stated the following, there are no reliable estimates of the precise number of German and other axis troops that the French resistance really captured:

  • 20,000 south of the loire river
  • 18,500 in Issoudum
  • 13,700 in the Midi-Pyréenée
  • 12,700 in the Limousin
  • 4,000 in Gascogne
  • 3,500 in Haute savoie

It's vital to keep in mind that German garrisons would submit after days of being isolated and harassed by the French resistance, resulting in a total of 173,000 Germans captured by the French resistance with 87,000 killed or injured in the south-east of France.

For instance, in Savoy, the large German garrison surrendered to the French forces of the Armée secrète "without the honor to fight," as did the city of Castres, which gave over 4,000 of its soldiers to the French resistance.

It's important to note that the Germans either surrendered to the Allies or were interned in camps for Jews or political dissidents. More instances of abuse and execution have also occurred.

Political strife, the FTP's reputation for being mostly communist-driven and for committing particularly horrible atrocities against Fascist Germany and it’s troop, as well as their murder of French collaborators,. It's important to note that many of the soldiers were either Jews or foreigners who had a strong animosity for the Germans.

In a few isolated instances, enraged mobs as a whole murdered German soldiers in vengeance for their 4 years of torturous occupation.

And in the majority of cases, as payback for earlier war crimes the Germans had committed on civilians. After ouradour sur Glane the IInd act of the liberation of France (battle of the Vosges - liberation of Alsace Lorraine) was a painful manhunt for the authors of Ouradour-sur-Glane. Some few officers were captured by the French resistance in the Lorraine region, few of them survived.

-5 SS were executed by the French resistance on the 27th of August 1944, in the Chalautre-la-Petite.
