My father's family was from a village which when invaded by Germans, seen half its population shot (probably worse than just shot, I imagine). Shall we go back and back and back in history, and when exactly do we stop so that the question of who's the good guy and who's the bad guy is finally forever resolved? Please tell us. And even if resolved, what then? What exactly is your proposition? Teach the bad guys your good ways? Good luck.

Let me guess, France? If Russians had come to "liberate" your village from the Germans, half of the population would have been deported to Siberia. You could argue that it's a better fate than getting shot, but nobody here is arguing for a nazi occupation either.

I don't think guessing things implied not to be mentioned leads to a meaningful conversation. There's a reason I never mentioned where I'm from or where my father's family was from - it's because it would create bias that right now you are trying to artificially induce by this guess. And no, they were very much shot and dropped dead... in the end.
