Default Re: HOLLANDIA (JAYAPURA) in 1944

I understand what you mean, shooting at your own officer is not an ideal situation! But then again, war is not a good situation at all. I'll bet that soldier believed he was saving alot of his friends by putting this incompetent officer in the hospital! I've read of men threatening to do this, but in time it took care of itself.
