Warm up the B-17s.
It appears that not releasing the b@astard murderer would have been a violation of German law. Unfortunately, following the terrible Nazi experience, the Germans have been punctilious to a fault regarding legalities, abolished capital punishment, and typically, I believe, sentence murderers to ten years in prison. One such individual was an American from my hometown in Southern California, and he only received ten years for murdering a German taxi driver.
Calm down. We should be able to nail this guy without going insane. BTW, we should be encouraging Germans' friendship and not continue to bait them. They are definitely not our enemies, as much as some people want them to be.
