As a general rule, by the time our soldiers got onto German soil, the numerous German atrocities were well known and well documented. Those who had been in the war the whole time had seen plenty of their buddies die. Those men knew the reason their buddies were dead and why they were on foreign soil. I would be interested in seeing how the people who now try and stand in judgment and criticize our WWII soldiers supposed and presumed actions would fair under the same conditions.
I won’t even get into the fact that someone who I doubt has ever done anything of note is calling one of our dead soldiers a liar over the capture of this weapon.
It is so easy to sit around 70 years later, without a clue as to what the conditions were in the 1940’s, and make judgments based on nothing.
