No proof of that for the Germans at all: they complied strictly with
the Geneva Convention. Over 95% of American POWs of the Germans
survived the war.


There was just recently on the History Channel a story about the 101st airborne
in Normandy. The Germans murdered 32 wounded paratroopers in cold blood along
with a number of French civilians, including two priests.

The Germans also murdered after torture, @ six of the "Cockelshell" crews that
wrecked several merchant ships by using Limpet mines. They were all in uniform
and engaged on legitimate military operations.

The commander of 12th SS PzDiv had 20 Canadian prisoners murdered in cold blood
also.

The Germans did not -strictly- go by the GC, although they generally did
against the Western Allies.
