At least... wait for it... 60 million people died in WWII. Most involved circumstances which were not "honorable".
Daggers were considered weapons by the allied forces when they demilitarized a town after the war was over. The occupants were ordered to deposit their weapons in a pile, usually in the town square. Then soldiers would search the town house by house to locate any weapons that had not been surrendered. As troubling as the story is, I can see something like this happening. Many of the 60+ million people that died in WWII were "dispatched" in a similar manner.
As someone alluded to in an earlier post, to judge the events that occurred surrounding WWII with today's morality is a mistake.
