   My brother was in France. Lets not forget the German soldiers did have to   
   fight soldiers in front and behind their back with terrorists. While in   
   France when thy took a walk they were always shot at be the French   
   partisans. Some of the get killed but are then made us believe they were   
   civilians. Klaus Barbie was brought to trial for killing partisans but hen   
   was accused of killing civilians. Under the Geneva convention partisan are   
   not protected by their un constitution. But in Barbies case the have been re   
   classified as civilian. One can se here very clearly how descriptions a   
   circumvented.

   War is war, and enemies of the state must be unfortunately dealt   
   with.  I don't agree with war, so I cannot agree with any atrocities   
   committed by any side.   
   Sometimes though(unfortunately), in reality war needs to be waged   
   doesn't it.   
   Partisans were partisans, and they needed to be executed.  They fought   
   out of uniform.  You have sympathy for them, so do I, but given the   
   nature of the things at the time, what would you expect?
