''[['Allo 'Allo!]]'', a British sitcom featuring Resistance activities, was conceived as a parody of the earlier BBC drama series ''[[Secret Army (TV series)|Secret Army]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=https://drama.uktv.co.uk/secret-army/article/what-is-the-secret-army/|title=Secret Army: Why You'll Want to Join the Resistance |website=Drama UKTV|access-date=26 September 2018}}</ref> and a number of characters in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' television franchise are members of the [[maquis (Star Trek)|maquis]]. [[Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigerie]], credited as ''Bernard'', wrote the original French lyrics of [[Anna Marly]]'s 1943 song "[[La Complainte du partisan]]", which later gained worldwide popularity as "The Partisan" with English lyrics adapted by [[Hy Zaret]]. The song describes the trials of a Resistance member from their perspective. Many artists have released versions of the song, in many languages, with the most well-known release being by [[Leonard Cohen]] in 1969.
