Take it into the 50's and 60's too - Czechoslovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia.... already conquered, then crushed - The USSR created their own downfalls in these countries wilth the institution of local KGBs in thrall to the soviet masters, some of the most active members of the resistance were members of the State police - loyal to the country/people frist, then to the communist leadership nominally.
