These are just incidents of civilians and semi-combatants going a bit off the deep end. No judgements, just some interesting articles that I have seen.

No need for you to get mad, things like this happened on all sides and this was a long time ago. I have relatives that fought and died on both sides in WW2; from an Uncle Flak gunner killed in France to my wife's grandfather who was a Polish partisan killed near Bialystok. My mother was a teenager who had to hide in the woods to avoid Allied bombing and another Uncle was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge while serving in the Red-Ball-Express.

The point is most of us would have fought for our own countries and what they were told and believed in during the war. Very few of us would refuse to fight for our country or side with a "foreign" or "enemy" government. Look at some of the passion on this board for a computer game...what would the reaction be if life and death were really involved???? There is not anything to prove at this point in time...only that these types of events have occured and should not happen again
