France's opposition to WWII occupation (10)

I believe the answer is:

resistance

(Other definitions for resistance that I've seen before include "Rebels" , "fighters in wartime" , "Freedom fighters - it's measured in ohms" , "defiance" , "Organised covert opposition to an occupying power" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
