oh i don't believe all germans were bad people either...but i could have SWORN i heard that an order had been delivered to like admiral Doornitz (spelling?) from Hitler to kill all prisoners that were rescued. But Dornitz...ignored it...did that ever happen?
Also i always wondered why Admiral Dornitz was even at the war crimes trials...he is the one that surrendered germany...and he seemed to be a reasonable man?
I have read many accounts of germans being chivalrous...i totally agree that the average german soldier wasn't a killing nut...only people in the SS or high up in the ranks do i believe were rather shady people.
