Factually incorrect- Somebody who does not understand the scenario or the Geneva convention wrote that Dohna refused to sign the order against the men who were properly in uniform because it would violate the Geneva convention. There are TWO problems with that. First, the men were dressed as Italian civilians, they were not in uniform and thus they were not under the protection of the Geneva Convention. Secondly, they were operating as partisans/spies and they had no legal protection under the Geneva Convention. We can only speculate as to Dohna's motives for not signing the execution order. The 15 men were unlawful combatants/spies/partisans and were legally executed. |
