COMMUNICATING WITHOUT SPEAKING
FRENCH RESISTANCE
During the Occupation, members of the Resistance had to transmit information without attracting attention.
- Talking could be intercepted.
- Movements were monitored.
- Checks were frequent.
To limit the risks, some resistance fighters used:
- Subtle gestures
- Visual signals
- Simple codes (objects, attitudes, movements)
The goal: to communicate quickly, quietly, without proof.
WHY THERE ARE SIGNS?
- Avoid being eavesdropped on and denounced
- Transmit a message in the presence of the enemy
- Leave no written record
- React quickly in dangerous situations
In a tense environment, silence became a tool for survival.
