I prefer historical stories about regular people who have done heroic things. There are many stories like that, especially in WWII. The Zookeepers Wife was a good one, but there are the Yugoslav Partisans, who built and protected a secret allied airfield behind Nazi lines, so they could fly out hundreds of Nazi enemies, right under their noses. Or the only high level Nazi informant we had, except FDR was afraid to use his Intel because he didn't trust him, making the spy angrier and angrier that he was endangering his life for excellent Intel that they ignored. Those are the real heros, the ones who didn't have weapons, and risked their lives anyway, simply because they wanted to do the right thing.
