I assume murder was prohibited by law already at that time.
It was their duty. They had orders to apply. They just did what they had to do.
I assume that you judge the german occupation as legal ?No partisan either. It´s laughable to join illegal/unlawful forces and to complain about the outcome later. Neither was it legal to support such illegal fighters.DavidFrankenberg wrote: ↑03 May 2019, 20:54No SS was ever charged or trialed for the horrible massacre. Such a shame.
What about the massacre of civilians, babies, children, women, unarmed men ? Was it legal too in your opinion ?
