Episode 14 : Midnight Massacre : Salina, UT
For as savage a practice as war is, there are generally accepted rules to it. And one of those rules is prisoners of war be kept safe and protected for the duration of their time behind enemy lines. The Geneva Convention has been dictating the treatment of soldiers in the battlefield since 1864. Trying to add civility to war seems like an oxymoron, but it’s something that has to be done. Sometimes though, the rules of war are one of the casualties.

I've been a student (formal or otherwise) of history for most of my 50+ years, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that far too many humans (particularly those in positions of power) would rather repeat history than learn from it. And so the rest of us are dragged along for the ride.

My former father-in-law was German and was captured in France while fighting for the German army. He was sent to Colorado Springs as a POW. The farmer he was sent to work for was incredibly kind to the young POWs, according to my father-in-law. He got tears in his eyes when expressing his gratitude for the excellent treatment from the farmer. He said they were fed extremely well, given clean beds, etc and after dinner the farmer and his wife taught those interested to speak English. I’m so sorry to hear about this incident. It’s always been a source of pride that we treated POWs so well, as one should but so few countries do.

I still never get tired of this opening! Thanks for bringing attention to another little known period of our complicated history!

The saying goes, "In war, the truth is written by the victors." From a long time, this statement was very, very true. In our modern age of information it's good to see other sides of the 'truth' come forth, truth that we may not have otherwise known! Thanks for being a voice of truth Jiles. Cheers!

...almost cut in half from all the bullets??? The only vivid picture worse than the man's retelling of the scene from when he was 6 years old. Horrible tragedy, thank you for sharing Jiles ❤
