In the face of the crushing ideologies of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, hundreds of thousands of civilians and former soldiers banded together in resistance right across Europe and Asia.

These created tales that need telling, and while some of them are already famous, I want to bring you some of those that are lesser-known but equally gripping.
