The “Marseillaise of the Resistance”, as it is sometimes known, was played at key moments in recent French history, such as after de Gaulle announced the D-Day landings on the BBC on the 6 th June 1944 or in the midst of the Battle of Paris on the 19 th August 1944. Even after the end of the war, the song continued to symbolize the fight against the Nazis during France’s darkest hour. André Malraux referred to the song in his speech when Jean Moulin’s ashes were transferred to the Pantheon of Paris in 1964. In a tragic twist of fate, the resistance hero had been arrested in June 1943, about a month after the song was first broadcast. This song was originally written in French, and its lyrics reflect the struggles and hardships faced by the French Resistance during the Nazi occupation in the 1940s. The song vividly portrays the strength and determination of those who resisted the oppressive regime, highlighting their unwavering belief in freedom and justice.
