Which is why I said look more into it. It wasn't just a couple of POWs.

Like I said to Dezzy, if they'd known then what we know now... it would have been different. Germany gassed 6 million of my people, and people still whine about Dresden being bombed, despite the fact Jewish slave workers who could have been killed any minute were cheering while the bombs dropped.

It's all well and good sitting in the comfort and safety of a home other people died to keep free, and say we were wrong.
