The Colonne Fabien (Fabien Column) was an irregular force of Communist volunteers that was active in Alsace in the last months of World War II. It was led by Pierre Georges, who took the alias Fabien. Fabien and his volunteers are celebrated by the Communists, but for many years there was little official recognition of the force's actions.
