Franc-Tireur (movement)
Franc-Tireur was a French Resistance movement founded at Lyon in November 1940 under the name "France Liberté". It was renamed "Franc-Tireur" in December 1941 on the proposal of Jean-Jacques Soudeille.
Franc-Tireur was also the name of the movement's clandestine newspaper, which continued publishing issues from December 1941 to 1957 at which point the editorial team had changed several times.
Under the guidance of Jean Moulin, the movement merged with Libération-sud and Combat to form the Mouvements Unis de la Résistance.
