The Ranger raid on the Cabanatuan (I'm going to have to check that!) POW camp in the Philippines (Hampton Sides' Ghost Soldiers is a brilliant read) that released many of the survivors of the Bataan Death March would not have been as successful had it not been for the Filipino resistance movement. They were pretty well organised and, most likely, under recognised for their role.
