This Day in the History of Real Nazi Decimation
On this day in 1940, Nazis shot every tenth person in two Polish villages near Warsaw in reprisal for the deaths of two German soldiers. We all recoil in horror at the brutality of the Nazis, for whom this was merely a light warm-up, but I want to know if the executions were effective in stopping the Poles from killing German soldiers. I guess I'm just built differently.
