國云亡,心未死
penalties for joining the resistance were severe throughout nazi-occupied europe. in october 1941, for example, 48 people were shot at chateaubriant(1) in revenge for one assassinated german colonel. interrogation at the hands of the gestapo might include beatings with truncheons, electric shock treatment or the dislocation of limbs.
