    Ross- I dont really think you can say my post was all black and white, it is not as if I cast the Germans as evil and I did say that we are not immune to the same evil.

    As far as the British are concerned, in WW2 and since, you will not find examples to match what happened at Oradour (or Mai Lay....come to that). Yes in the horrors and pressures of conflict very nasty things can happen on an individual and small unit level but what the Germans did in WW2 was of another scale. The nearest we British have to that kind of thing over the last 100 years is in India, the Amritza massacre when (Colonel) Dyer ordered his troops to open fire on protestors for which he was Court Martialled.
