I was watching something recently on TV about the Battle of the Bulge and it mentioned that the Germans killed American prisoners. The way it was mentioned was supposed to shock the viewer. No number was mentioned. I say a few thousand in my title, but it may have been just a few hundred. Either way the viewer was supposed to think: Those horrible Germans, how could they do such a thing! As if Americans never killed any German prisoners. And as if Americans never nuked Japan and killed 200,000 civilians.
