have I ever lead you wrong, about nazis, before? Ever?
They're lashing out, because they KNOW they are losing. This is all they have. This is all they know. They are trying to beat you into submission - the Gestapo, the unhinged militia nazis, the base. They know they are losing the handle - the violence isn't strength, it's terror.
Do not be intimidated. Do not stop. Do not rest until they are finished. The end of this is on the table here, if you refuse to let them get a head above water
