Also, Germans wren't the only ones to shoot or kill wounded prisoners. Every army has done it. But most troops are trained or informed by higher command of what to do with POWs. Now I'm sure not every prisoner was excuted on the spot, but I bet if a group of Rangers, etc. were infiltrating an enemy location, and wounded a soldier along the way, they aren't going to jepordize the mission by A. letting said prisoners go, B. trying to escort said prisoner to friendly lines. They would make the kill as clean and painless as possible, and go on with their job, UNLESS SPECIFIED TO DO OTHERWISE!  Regardless, what they did would be no more then I would have my characters do, in the middle of Spiderhaunt Woods, in battle with the Zhents, and already wounded. Now the paladin wannabe I would have some problems with him letting the CN guy slit their throats. Other then that, I have no problem, nor do I think that it would be morally wrong to drop enemy combatants after they surrendered, in their situation. Does anyone remeber Saving Private Ryan, when the German they let go, came back to kill them?</blockquote>
