At the end of the day, war is war and these things happen in pretty much every war. And tbh this title should have been "The Biscari Massacre, A story about two US soldiers who went rogue" because it wasn't really executed by the goverment of the US.

If they really wanted to surrender they would have done it before even fighting and killing a bunch of innocent greens. They just surrendered because this pussycats knew they were gonna die if they kept fighting. Im glad they died their death wouldnt even account for all the men, fathers, brothers, husbands, boyfriends they killed.
@andyfriederichsen 2 жыл бұрын
Another interesting fact is that Patton thought making his soldiers "killers" who wouldn't take prisoners would make the enemy fight less. It's actually the opposite, as enemies are going to fight much harder if they think they are going to be tortured or killed upon surrendering.
@Teufer2 Жыл бұрын
It really depends on the situation. The enemy is more likely to flee if they believe the enemy will "give no quarter" in a battle. But if they have no way to flee, like if they are surrounded or the know they will be executed for desertion if they do so. They will fight to the bitter end. Not an historian. But probably one of the reasons why the Waffen SS were such dangerous enemies is because they knew they were hated by the allies. Far more likely just to be shot if they tried to surrender. So they often fought to the bitter end.

@Historylover-ho6lg 2 жыл бұрын
In the end, it all comes down to a matter of personal character. My father knew a man who was a corporal in the Canadian Army. He was bringing three German prisoners to a POW station when a lieutenant drove up in a jeep, told him to shoot the prisoners and get back to the front. The corporal refused. The lieutenant told him to shoot them or he would have the corporal court-martialed for disobeying orders. The corporal held his rifle out and told the officer, "If you want them dead, you kill them." The officer drove away, the corporal finished escorting the prisoners, and returned to his unit. He was never even spoken to about it. In the heat of combat, mistakes happen. I do not presume to condemn men who are frightened for their lives when they do things to insure their own survival even when the light of hindsight shows it was probably not a good choice. Under that kind of strain, people don't always think clearly and even if they are, they can't see the future. But this was not done in combat. This was a deliberate murder of unarmed men. This is the difference between war and murder. The sin of war will be visited on the heads of those who start war, the sin of murder on the hands of those who commit murder. Soldiers are not responsible for the deaths they cause in combat but they are for any deaths they cause out of it. And that holds true for all armies and all nations; no exceptions.

Another thing conveniently left out was that the Japanese never signed the agreement to take prisoners. The ones they did take they were cruel to. Not really a fair situation where we have to be kind to them but they don’t to us. Pinko college professors who hate America will always leave that out. They always gotta make America look like the worst when it’s not even remotely close. The Germans also literally ran over to us and surrendered as opposed to the Soviets because we gave them 3 meals a day. The Japanese butchered millions upon millions of Chinese.

The allies had concentration camps in Germany as well. They were called "Rheinwiesenlager". In these labor camps the surrendering German soldiers were either starved to death, shot or died of exhaustion. 1.9 Million soldiers were imprisoned in those camps. The Wikipedia article says it was only a few thousand deaths in total, while in reality it was more than 200,000. I was able to talk to a local, who survived. He said they were tortured. Furthermore they was an incident were a soldiers wife was coming to the camp to bring food to her husband - She was then raped and murdered. In general there have been lots of rapes after the defeat of Germany. Most of them were done by the red army, but also by the US and French army. Though, my grandma said that the US soldiers, especially the black ones have been nice. When they drove by, they gave chocolate to the kids.

Unsurprisingly some of these Felons ended up committing War Crimes, rarely they were punished for that. Now before someone goes "But": Yes Towards the End of the War, we Germans also enlisted Criminals, who just like the American Ones, also ended up committing War Crimes. Unlike the American Criminal Groups, the Axis ones were either executed at the end of WW2 or at least charged and punished. My point being: Not only inexperienced People without or almost without training were forced to serve in WW2 by each side, but also actual Criminals who then ended up committing Warcrimes.

My father went from Normandy to Hamburg with 53rd (Welsh) Division. He spoke eloquently about the harrowing effects of war on young men who were not warlike. He spoke also of the difficulties of peace in the aftermath of war. He said things I have never heard or read elsewhere. One thong he came back to was the dilemma of surrender and capture. He said it would be very hard to resist the urge to shoot a surrendered man who moments earlier had killed your friends and had been trying to kill you. It seemed a reasonable point. I didn't push for details, although I suspect he did resist. He also spoke of fear of capture, citing the same reason. "We knew we might.... We worried that they might, too". I have never worn uniform, bit I imagine this anxiety is not uncommon.

He was sent to Buchenwald, a concentration camp. He managed to escape, but he suffered severe PTSD: he was spooked by barking dogs, couldn't hear germans speaking... He kept serving his country after the war too (he was a Carabiniere in Sicily and fought against the Mafia and bandits) he died of Gangrene before I could've known him, as he refused any cure.

When the 11th Armored Division killed 80 German prisoners of war in Chenogne, Patton wrote "I hope we can conceal this". The U.S. has long held itself as a protector of freedom and justice yet has a long and bloody history of killing unarmed men, women and children. The near genocide of the native peoples herded onto reservations is well documented but what isn't taught is how Brigadier General Smith ordered the massacre of Filipinos over the age of 10, how concentration camps were set up in the Phillipines, the massacre of Haitians and widespread rapes, the habitual killing of Japanese prisoners in the Pacific and the rape of the women of Okinawa, strafing lifeboats after warships were sunk in the Atlantic....and lets not forget the war crimes perpetrated in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East!

The problem was the 180th infantry regiment was battle Fatigued and suffer heavy losses because the unit was comprised of national guards units from Oklahoma and Colorado. Most of them were inexperienced. Right before in order to get their spirits up Lt General George S Patton gave a Speech to booster their moral and prepare them for the fighting of what’s to come. Unfortunately some of them mistook parts of Patton speech as an order.

Any Muslim who does not at least consider dating a Serbian or American girl , ( ✌️ ) is eather crazy or gay. I mean,look what their guys did to our girls in the aggression on us. I would gladly date one,and have my time,but i cant because this coward U.S government targeted me and ruined my life. They are not superior to me and had no right to this. Shame.Iraq,Afghanistan,Bosnia,Hiroshima ?! Justice for me and all victims of such evil needs to be.

General Patton should’ve also been held responsible, in his speech, he ordered the men to ignore the Geneva convention
@cods1pe3r 4 жыл бұрын
It wasn't a good way to go about it, but it is the average soldiers job to uphold the Geneva convention. You are expected to have good enough morals to say no.

Nathan Whaley I don’t think the 18 year old kids that were drafted, had the Geneva convention as their main focus when being shipped out to war. lol
