The Germans that hunted these people were the SS-Police. The same people who shot over a million people at close range. They would conduct operations just to find Jews, and other partisans, then kill everyone. Certain areas were cleared of everything and everyone, and the villages burned down. You will need to be able to read German for a lot of these documents. thegermanpolice.com If your interested in this subject there is the original documents plus other research available.

Which, as the movie theater I go to is on the same mall floor as my gym, works out pretty well. It's always a pleasure and inspiration to watch intensely physical actors, and sadly it seems there are very few female equivalents. Female "action" stars usually have backgrounds in dance so they move prettily, but hardly have the strength and physicality to convincingly punch through paper. (And some of the worst offenders, alas, are Asian actresses like Zhang Ziyi, Maggie Q, Kristin Kreuk.) The only exceptions I can think of are Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 and Eliza Dushku (sp?) in the Buffy/Angel series. The latter was always much more convincing than the pathetically flailing mouse paws of Sarah Michelle Geller - but even she was better than most. Ah well, one more case of having to rely on men for most of my "role models". Someone’s been productive… ;)
