Here's a website I found about German occupation of France in World War II:
http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/German_occupation_of_France_in_World_War_II
It tells about the resistence of French under German's occupation. German extracted a lot of money from French by the armistice with French signed in June 1940. The power of French was weak. Even though there weren't a lot of French resisted actively, but many of them supported the members of resistence secretly. They also listened to the banned BBC, and even helped lost Americans escape and British airmen go back to British. French organized armed groups underground in late 1942 and 1943. They got aids of weapons from parachute drops and solo landings at night by RAF, too. There were also directions from British radio. After the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944, the French armed resistance groups destroyed railway lines, and bridges systematically. They also communicate the intelligence from British.

Here is a website I found about Hungary under German occupation:

In Hungary in World War Two, the Jews were deeply harmed by Germans. They were centralized in certain cities, and they were forced to live outdoor with inadequate food and water. Furthermore, German soldiers tortured them very often. Without a week, these cities were eliminated. About 63,000 Jews died in the the German occupation in March 1944. A terrifying amount of people died just in a occupation. Moreover, they weren't soldiers, they were merely innocent citizens, including women and children. We can see how a cruel thing German did.
This is a deserted street in the area of the Sighet Marmatiei ghetto after the deportation of the ghetto population.

And here's a map of Hungary under the occupation.

German occupied most of the near countries, and Hungary was one of them. Some of the countries on the map are neutral: Spain, Switz, Ireland and Sweden.
