The Nazis did this to Berliners in early 1945, when the war was long over (in terms of which side would win). The people were fleeing from Berlin to the western part of the country, hoping to be captured by American or British compared to the Russians. Violators were shot on sight.

Why is it that even though we're the ONLY country that follows the Geneva Convention during wartime, and our enemies invariably flount it is the most bloody, inhumane ways, WE'RE the only ones that get pissed on by so-called "human rights groups" for so much as having a POW bathroom that's a 1/4 inch shorter than the Convention says it should be?
