Re: Polish soldiers executing German POW's

These sorts of incidents happened throughout the conflict, and involved all combatant nations. I think it is a lucid insight to bring up the Thirty Years' War, and the slaughter of the population of Magdeburg. Indeed, this conflict was the first in Europe wherein civilian deaths outnumbered military, and it took Germany generations to recover from this.
