Suicide bombers are an effective tool of terror organisations since Hizbollah popularised them in Lebanon in the 80s. Given the odds facing WW2 resistance fighters in Nazi occupied countries, how effective would the use of suicide bombers have been? I'm talking of the whole range, from walk ins with explosive vests blowing themselves in a german filled restaurant in Prague to explosive loaded trucks being driven against german held buildings in Paris. What would be the effect on german morale? Would the allies be willing to support such actions (airdroping suicide vests for example) and would some countries be more willing to use this technique than others?
I'm not trying to validate suicide bombers in any way, just wondering about the implications of it's general use in occupied Europe.
