At the end of the summer of 1940, [[Daniel Mayer]] was asked by [[Leon Blum]] to reconstitute the [[French Section of the Workers' International|SFIO]] (in ruins because of [[Paul Faure (politician)|Paul Faure]]'s defection to the Vichy régime). In March 1941 Daniel Mayer created, with other socialists like Suzanne Buisson and [[Félix Gouin]], the [[list of networks and movements of the French Resistance|Comité d'action socialiste]] (CAS) in [[Nîmes]]. The same thing was created by [[Jean-Baptiste Lebas]] in the [[Nord-Pas-de-Calais]] (administratively joined with Belgium) in January 1941, along the lines of a prior network created in September 1940.

In 1942, ''[[Le Populaire (1920)|Le Populaire]]'', newspaper of the SFIO from 1921 to 1940, was publishing again, clandestinely. The same year, [[André Philip]] became ''commissaire national à l'Intérieur'' of the [[Free French Forces|Free French (France libre)]], and [[Félix Gouin]] joined [[Charles de Gaulle]] in [[London]] to represent the socialists. In [[Algeria]], left-wing networks of resistance were already formed. As the [[Riom Trial|Riom trial]] began in 1942, the fervour and the number of socialists in the Resistance grew. The CAS-Sud became the secret SFIO in March 1943.

There was a majority from the SFIO in {{Lang|fr|[[Libération-Nord]]|italic=no}}, one of the eight great networks to make up the [[National Council of the Resistance]], and in the [[Brutus network]]. Socialists were also important in the [[organisation civile et militaire]] (OCM) and in [[Libération-Sud]].

Other socialist leaders in the Resistance included [[Pierre Brossolette]], [[Gaston Defferre]], [[Jean Biondi]], [[Jules Moch]], [[Jean Pierre-Bloch]], [[François Tanguy-Prigent|Tanguy-Prigent]], [[Guy Mollet]] and [[Christian Pineau]]. François Camel and [[Marx Dormoy]] were assassinated, while Jean-Baptiste Lebas, Isidore Thivrier, [[Amédée Dunois]], [[Claude Jordery]] and [[Augustin Malroux]] died during their deportation.
