AI overview

A partisan is a member of an armed group that fights against an occupying force or invading army, typically operating in small units using surprise attacks and unconventional tactics rather than traditional warfare. These fighters matter historically because they played significant roles in resistance movements, particularly during World War II, and their tactics influenced how military conflicts have been understood and fought since then.
