* LaResistance: Some novels concern groups of partisans who resist against Germans (or [[CivilWar fight each other]]) from UsefulNotes/{{central Europe}} and UsefulNotes/{{Yugoslavia}} to UsefulNotes/{{Belarus}}. They can be shown as heroic in some novels, and just little better than the worst Nazis in others.

The largest number of these novels, by far, take place during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, on the [[WorldWarII/WarInEuropeAndAfrica Eastern Front]] more specifically, from Operation Barbarossa (the German invasion of USSR in June 1941) to the fall of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany in May 1945, although other settings of the war such as [[WorldWarII/WarInEuropeAndAfrica North Africa]] and [[WorldWarII/WarInAsiaAndThePacific Asia and the Pacific]] are also used, as well as the [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar 1950s Indochina War]]. UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust also shows up here and there.

* StupidJetpackHitler: The novel ''La Barrière de Feu'' (''Barrage of Fire'') features a German subterranean base that can launch multiple V2 rockets simultaneously, on the Eastern front. No such thing existed in RealLife. Most V2 rockets were used on the Western front, and they were launched individually on dedicated mobile outdoor launching pads (in order to avoid Allied air raids) and not from subterranean bases.
