    Which country in ww2, when reports of SA/R were coming to the attention of their military command structure, put out a general order that these reports must be investigated and dealt with and the perpetrators facing the death penalty should they be found guilty - while also including a specific clause explicitly stating that perpetrators found mid-act are to be immediately put to death on the spot like rabid dogs?

    While it was still was inefficient as an impromptu order during the liberation of Germany, it still happened and is to my knowledge the only order given to curtail SA/R crimes in WW2. The Axis reveled in crimes against humanity, and the Western Allies didn’t really give a shit and relied on the morality of their soldiers to curtail their excesses.

      POV people are mad at you because you kept track of instances of something while your enemies just didn’t care or enabled it
