One day my barber was talking about being in WWll. He was a captain and told me that he and some others was assigned to escort a group of prisoners back behind the lines. He said they got over the hill and shot them all. They then came back to the front line. I don't remember more details, but that admission bothered me for a long time, until I learned more about such things. He died in 1975 and he was not really that old. I have no idea what unit he was with, heck I don't even remember his name.
