Partisan and reprisals - WWYD? - Shad - 07-29-2024
Perhaps a more extreme - and realistic - version of the trolley problem...
You're a partisan in Nazi-occupied territory during WW2. Your band conducts an operation successfully and the Nazis, unable to catch the perpetrators, punish the innocent locals in horrific and vastly disproportionate ways.
Famous Example: Assassination of Reinhard Heydrich
What do you do and why?

Choosing between violent resistance or not depends on the perception of reason from the other side. The Nazis where one of those groups with which a reasonable response could not be expected. Even in areas which were fairly non-violent in their resistance were subject to brutal reprisals for perceived infractions. Thus one form of resistance as opposed to another will not provide any difference in safety. Oradour-sur-Glane is a good example.

Wasn't that the basic strategy of the human collaborators in the Berserker series?
