...In fact he mentions in one letter that surrendering german troops would throw up their hands and shout "No watch !! No pistol !!" I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this practice between opposing forces before?? Common practice maybe??

I have heard this "rumour" numerous times, troops beleived it, so it must be true, and if the troops / soldiers beleived it, i am sure they carried out what they thought was "right" if they captured a foreign soldier...

Could I get pictures to add to the story and permission to use it?
