OT: Fury

[Olefin]

Lots of German and American prisoners got shot out of hand during the war, especially later in the war of Germans by Americans.

My own great uncle told me how at Omaha they had shot out of hand several German POW's who had just surrendered. In the heat of battle a lot of men on both sides who had just seen their buddies killed in droves really didnt care too much about what others might see as war crimes.

And I agree on those tactics - those are more like what a Chinese or Japanese commander would come up with, not a German. Unless their commander was some kind of deskbound officer who had never been in combat and had no idea of tactics beyond what he read in wartime propaganda. The only way that scene would have been accurate would be if it was Hitler Youth forces - have read a lot about some incredibly stupid things they did in 1945 because they literally knew nothing about tactics except to charge the enemy.
