Re: Most definitely I'm sure!
Hi,
Having been in the service from 1943 to 1946 and a Lifelong Civil Servant at NASA, I was fortunate to have made the acquaintence of many veterans of all services and several Nations including the Germans, and without exception I can say that not a single one claimed that anyone other than the "SS Elite Guard Troopers" committed such acts of barbarism as killing anyone for possession of a captured German Pistol.
Many who were captured with these weapons and or other items were given very strong interrogation to determine if there acts could be considered "Robbing the Dead" which was unlawful by International Treaty. But this usually applied to having watches and other personal objects which were forbidden by all nations of this Treaty.
Just what I remember matters on this subject,
