He's not a war criminal, because the evidence is so lacking that any charges against him would be thrown out in court. No evidence, no proof, no charge, no crime. Also I think he well and truly redeemed himself of any war crimes commited through his actions throughout the war. Who are you to call him a fucking war criminal ? eek:

Add to the fact, that they had no real means of keeping German POW's locked up, no rear echelon to send the prisoners too, and the Para's were'nt moving back, they were moving forward. Keeping German prisoners with them would have been a burden to them, downgraded their combat effectiveness and been just a plain 'ole pain in the ass.
