It turns out in occupied Norway during WWII partisans were also killing German soldiers , under British secret service direction. The killing was stopped because the Germans killed 10 Innocent civilians for ever soldier killed. The price of the minor sabotage, that didn't materially effect the war effort, was not worth the loss of life by the Norwegians.
From Rotten Tomatoes: A real life tragedy during World War II inspired this period drama of an eight-year-old girl growing up in a small town near Bologna, in the 1940s. Martina is an sensitive and impressionable child who was struck mute by the death of her baby brother, though she seems to be improving now that her mother Lena is expecting another child. But as Lena and Martina's father Armando struggle to keep the children clothed and fed, war rages in Europe, and the family has been forced to take in several relatives who've fled the fighting in the larger cities,
As Axis forces patrol the village, a growing number of underground resistance fighters are organizing in and many citizens are torn between their support for the patriots and their fear of reprisal from German soldiers. As resistance activities simmer, the German SS arrives in and Martina a witness to a massacre. L'uomo Che Verra (aka The Man Who Will Come) was an official selection at the 2009 BFI London Film Festival.
