We need to add war crimes section. See: "...Jewish marauders were shot. Only a few manual laborers employed by the Wehrmacht repair shops were spared. Driving women & children towards the the marshes did not have the desired effect as the marshes were not deep enough to ensure drowning...The total number of marauders and others shot by the Reiter Abt. stands at 6,526 men. About 10 prisoners were taken away. Overall, the operation may be described as a success."*

I assume that the above is a quote from a report done by the SS Cavalry Brigade - would be useful if that point were made. Ironically of course such reports irrespective of the word "marauders" condemns forever the actions of the men responsible as what real soldier could write that the water was not deep enough to drown women and children - such heroes!!!
