<HTML>Mind you, if you had sugested at the time to any one of those infantrymen in the water that he had surrendered or was hors de combat he would have either strangled or knifed you. If you were lucky he would have kept you for subsequent torture and interogation then execution.If you were unlucky he would have castrated you and left you tied to a tree to scream for help. When your mates arrived they would have been shot by snipers castrated and tied to the true and so on. If you died you would be eaten!! this is the reality of the war in New Guinea. The UBOAT war has nothing to do with it.
Incidentally we forget that WW1 Germany thought poison gas was ok? When they stopped we did. Was gas ever OK? NO but for all you agression apologisists you better believe it will be used against you if you start it. After all this is the whole principle of MAD which all of NATO embraces!!.
And thats just human nature not the deliberate mass murder policies pursued by the OKW.
