Comité départemental de libération
The Comité départemental de libération was a structure of the French Resistance. In 1944, in each department, the Resistance unified around a civil resistance structure and a military one. The Comités developed out of the desire of the MUR and the Free French Forces in London under general De Gaulle to give political representation to the Resistance forces fighting in France. In each commune, a Comité local de libération represent the Comité départemental de libération.Newspaper
The CDL created the daily newspaper, L'Appel with a radical socialist communist outlook. In December 1944, this became the newspaper, La Voix Républicaine.
