I think mentioning the shooting of prisoners by the SS is only going to invoke a response that lists off the times when allied troops massacred unarmed prisoners or civilians in equally cold blood. The nazi regime, and therefore the SS, can be criticized for their ruthless barbarity easily enough without such references.
Otherwise this will be going in an endless spiral... even more so than it is now.
