ABSTRACT

This article attempts to analyze the debate in 1985 on a TV documentary film dealing with the FTP-MOI, a French communist immigrant Resistance organization. The film brought about an intense dispute in French society by casting doubts on a role of the French Communist Party that might have played in the collapse of the FTP-MOI in the Paris region in late 1943. The organization fell down because of the stubborn operation by the Special Brigade, a French police unit of the Vichy government, rather than because of the fact that their resistant fighters were handed over to the police, or that the leadership of Communist party abandoned them. Moreover, the betrayal of a leading member and imprudence of the fighters favored the police operation. The collapse was also ascribed to the leadership of the Communist party that persisted with the armed struggle in spite of having recognized police blockades. And it is conceivable to consider this dispute as a conflict between the effort to revive the foreign fighters who have been neglected in memory of the Resistance for decades after the war, and the tendency to hold fast to a myth of national Resistance.
