Well my part of Europe din't have a chance for such big acts. But those in my family that could fight in those days, were partizans
And many risked their head for helping them (my mother grandma was warned and ran away before the Italian came to burn her house). In WWI, my ansestors (under a different name in those days of course) were general on the front, between Autria-Hungary and Italy (in those days, Slovenians were part of the Austria-Hungury). I always forget the English name of the river where the front was situated. Maybe the one of the first Blitchkrieg actions in war might help, The Miracle at Kobarid.
