Milices Patriotiques

The Patriotic Militia (French: Milices patriotiques, Dutch: Patriotische Militie) was a communist group in the Belgian resistance during the Second World War, affiliated to the Communist Party of Belgium.[1] The Milices were intended to be a mass movement, working alongside the much smaller Partisans Armés (PA) group.[2]
