i thought it was the same guy too, but it isn't..the uniform is a dead give away..
the kraut they let go was a wermacht..they guy that stabbed mellish was an SS..
on his way down the stairs the SS dude does not kill upham, because 1) he was crying and 2)upham takes his hand off his gun..
now the guy that shoots miller IS the guy they let go..but not the same guy that killed mellish..just check his uniform...you can see his uniform is different also when upham ends up shooting him in the end...
unless of course, he killed mellish in his SS uniform..then changed back into his wermacht uniform..
they're actually two different guys..its pretty confusing though..but hey, so was the whole damn war right?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Clever...But if you actually think about it it's not the case. Why did Upham at the end shot that specific German but let go the others? Because he saw how he stabbed Mllish and shot the other Americans without mercy, and he also regret of letting him loose when they had a chance to shoot him. Conclusion: So the message the movie's trying to tell us is 'take no prisoners, shoot or get shot at'
