In World War II, after being captured by and escaping Nazi German forces, he formed the French Resistance group Mouvement de Liberation Nationale. Before the end of the war, Frenay edited underground newspapers, helped establish the Combat group, and participated in the forming of the Conseil National de la Résistance.
