====Luxembourgers==== 400 men from [[Luxembourg]] (which was annexed into Germany), many of whom had refused to serve in, or who had deserted from, the German Wehrmacht, left their tiny country to fight in the French maquis, where they were particularly active in the regions of [[Lyon]], [[Grenoble]] and the [[Ardennes]] although many of them were killed in the war. Others, like [[Antoine Diederich]], rose to high rank in the Resistance. Diederich, known only as "Capitaine Baptiste", had 77 maquis soldiers under his command and is best known for attacking [[Riom]] prison, where he and his fighters freed every one of 114 inmates who had been sentenced to death.{{sfn|Rath|2009|pp=375β377}}
