Some things I wold like to add. In WWII the war was definable
not over when it was over. The was for the peace went on for
many years. If memory serves me, it was 7 year in Germany and
8 years in Japan. The Germans were called Whearwolfen (no
idea how to spell it). We would catch them and tie them to
a fence post and shoot them. That was back when we were serious.

Let me ask a hypothetical question. If the US were invaded, say by Chinese
troops, would you be in the resistance or would you welcome you're new
masters with flowers?

The Soviets were serious, the Allies not so much.

"Unless the citizens of the city of Stuppach within three hours produced the
German officer that the U.S. forces believed was hiding there they were
informed that: all male inhabitants would be shot, women and children
expelled to the surrounding wilderness and the city razed.[61]"

Well, maybe a little serious.
