Going from memory here, but I think you're mistaken. The Nazi saboteurs were not prisoners of war. They were tried as spies. Prisoners of war do not normally get tried for anything, and certainly not executed, unless they are guilty of war crimes. On the other hand, that is the normal fate for spies.

Ex Parte Quirin - I think I'm pretty much okay in my reading of it ;)
