When I was a kid I met an old vet who would ride the train frequently with me and told me out of nowhere one day that his squad didn't take prisoners, and that if the Germans immediately surrendered then they'd shoot them and make it quick, but if the Germans tried to fight it out before surrendering then they'd cut off their noses or ears before lynching them.
I was like seven years old at the time and even back then knowing nothing about the war I thought it was absolutely insane that this guy was cooly confessing to doing some heinous shit to a little kid.
