The story form ZIP 31 is a fictional version of the story of the destruction of the town of Lidice.
[The Nazis destroyed Lidice as a reprisal action for the assassination and death of Reinhard Heydrich, a high-ranking Nazi leader. The Germans falsely claimed that two families from the town of Lidice were somehow connected to the assassins and the Czech resistance.

In Lidice, the Germans shot the men of the town, and then deported most of the women and children. Next, they burned the town to the ground. They promised to obliterate the name of Lidice from the map of Europe.]

These WEB stories are some of the most vehement anti-NAZi stories i've seen in comics.

There were several such atrocities in occupied countries.
In one case a platoon of SS men flatly refused to carry out such a massacre of French Civilians. This was a very unusual situation for the Wermacht to deal with.
The high command chose to prevent the SS from having these soldiers executed without trial , as would have been expected and the resulting trial for mutiny was used by the later War Crimes commissions as proof that it was legally possible for German troops to defy direct orders if those orders were obviously illegal.

In another incident conscripted troops from a majority muslim country stationed in Paris were so incensed by German atrocities that they mutinied and made a heroic stand against their former masters.
The French people were so impressed that the street where most of the battle took place was renamed the street of the heroes.
