I think in World War II German army infiltrators were summarily executed when captured. No. They were tried under military tribunal...and then executed.

The History Channel recently ran a program on the post WWII SS insurgency. We were very brutal, executing saboteurs and their collaborators, and we outlawed reporting within Germany of saboteur activity.

No. They were tried under military tribunal...and then executed. A distinction without a difference, calculated to appeal to the young and the ignorant; to mislead and misinform.
The whole process, in any event, usually took less than 12 hours. A reality about which you are either ignorant, or wish to conceal.
