Most people didn't have weapons, same as today.
Czernowitzers had rather books at home.
And you probably do not have a picture of the situation, in which well
equipped internal forces order the deportation.
Anybody who would use a weapon would be shot immediately or later after a
trial.
The family of the terrorist (by that time called the enemy of the people)
would suffer.
>From the deportees the majority survived (my assumption) and eventually
returned.
Some people knew in advance, that they are going to be deported, so my
grandparents (somebody gave them the information).
They went hiding somewhere, but as instead of them their friend was taken,
they went out of the hiding place to release her.
The people surely didn't rely on anything, just hoped to survive and many
did.
