Alpin, you might want to explain your point rather than just posting a link.

I assume he means she wasn't resisting the anti-nazis - you know, like the french resistance weren't resisting the french

Nazi resistance leader.

or

Anti-Nazi resistance leader.

the first, would to me, indicate someone who resisted the Nazis. the latter, someone who resisted the people who were against the Nazis.

Went to the resistance museum in Amsterdam last year:

Was walking into the Gents as my mate was walking out.
As I passed him he turned round and said "Don't go in there, it's occupied". ๐Ÿ™‚

Guess you had to be there...........
