Re: Allied atrocities
I had a boss once, quite a while back now. And one night after work and a few drinks he started telling me about his time in WW2 as an infantryman. He said he saw Germans shot out of hand. He told me he saw tanks shoot down Germans trying to surrender, "tanks can't take prisoners." he said. He also told me in combat things just start to get out of control and sometimes you just don't stop shooting. Heat of the moment and all that. Another example was of a GI who found out his brother was killed, he didn't take any prisoners for a while, he just shot them.
Atrocities happened on both sides in all army's. I don't think thats anything new.
