Omg, how can you say this?
It was the main tactic the nazis used to deter Partizans. Just one example was the village Putten in the Netherlands, where every male citizen was taken hostage, to be executed unless some local resistance people turned themselves in. They didn't, and the nazis executed all the hostages.
An estimated one fifth of the population of Yugoslavia died this way, not to mention the scores of Russians.
Historically it is a tactic that doesnt really seem to be very effective.
