Partisan (military)
A partisan is a member of an irregular military force formed to oppose control of an area by a foreign power or by an army of occupation. The term can apply to the field element of resistance movements that opposed Nazi domination in several countries during World War II, or those who after the war fought the Soviet Union's Communist rule in eastern Europe.
