My mom, Synnøve (sister to Margit), always tell us about this one time during the second world war, when the german troops were marching right in front of their house in Kvinesdal, Norway. The germans were tired and hungry. So the commanding officer, a BIG TALL man, took a chicken and knocked on the door. Margit, about 16-18 years old, opened and saw the german soldier holding the chicken. She immediately grabbed the chicken, yelled NEIN, and slammed the door in the soldier's face.
Her mother was shaking afterwards and her father said later that if that had been the "wrong" german, we could all have been executed.
Wow, I mean... she was tough, my tante.
Rest in peace dear tante Margit.
