O'REILLY: And in Normandy, as you know, U.S. forces captured S.S. forces,
who had their hands in the air. And they were unarmed. And they shot them down.


Wasn't that in "Band of Brothers"? I think it was Spears (eventually
Captain?) that wiped out a group of surrendered Germans (off-camera)?

And I'm not familiar with any similar shooting of German prisoners
by US soldiers after Malmedy.

That whole incident with Spiers is merely a story - it's not certain that he actually did that.

What is certainly true about Spiers is that he was an expert at harvesting loot from Germany.
