Once one of his fellow officers remarked on his umbrella stating 'that thing won't do you any good' to which Digby replied ' Oh my goodness Pat, but what if it rains?' He was captured after being injured....managed to escape from the hospital and to evade further capture where he and another joined the Dutch resistance and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order medal He died in 1993 aged 75

For those wondering, in the case of a unit on a mission that prevents them from escorting large groups of POWs, the proper procedure would be to accept the prisoners, disarm them, report their surrender to your superiors, and direct the prisoners to travel to a rendezvous point on their own accord to be picked up for internment. You are required to accept a surrender, but you don't have to babysit them yourself, especially if you have a mission to complete.

Rommel had a similar approach when pushing deep into enemy territory heading for their HQ so that when they lost all control they were easy to pick of unit by unit. When a subordinate would reming him they were now 'trapped' because they were behind the eneny who had closed his escape route he would explain that HE was behind THEM.

When I was in the Navy, I did a tour on the DSRV-2 Avalon. (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle). We did a rescue exercise with the Royal Navy deploying aboard the HMS Revenge as our Mother Sub. Some striking differences between our two Navies: US Sub force: "DIVE! DIVE! Ah OOGA! Ah OOGA (Divng alarm) DIVE! DIVE!" Royal Navy : "Diving now. Diving now." (In a soft spoken "Oh by the way" Tone of voice" ) Once a week we have a four hour cleaning we call Field Day. Every now and then, the ships cleanliness falls below standard before the next scheduled field day. U.S. Navy: "THIS IS THE CAPTIAN! THE SHIP LOOKS LIKE SHIT! COMMENCE FIELD DAY!" Royal Navy: "All hands. Captain here, I regret to inform you that the cleanliness of this ship has fallen below acceptable standards. We shall clean until the problem has been rectified. That is all."

What unit are you referring to? To my knowledge the Royal Marines on the Falklands had no contact with London whilst they were fighting, and they surrendered on orders of the local Governor after putting up stiff resistance. The only submarine damaged was the ARA Santa Fe (Formerly USS Catfish from WW2) and it was fatally damaged by rocket attack from helicopters of the Royal Navy, before beaching itself in Grytviken in South Georgia where the crew disembarked and joined the Argentinian Marines in defending the island, only to surrender a few days later when the RN put on a display of naval gunnery near the Argentinian troops. The sub was then destroyed by the British Army using it as a target for Milan anti-tank missiles before it was towed out to sea and sunk after the conflict as it's weapons had become unstable.

It's hard to get at the truth sometimes so fr back, but the character on the bridge in the film is Major Harry Carlyle based on Digby Tatham-Warter (who did carry an umbrella about with him!).

The German soldier was sent to discuss terms for the BRITISH to Surrender. At that point the brits were outnumbered and surrounded. The British responded, as a JOKE, by refusing a German surrender. Lesson of the day: don't form an opinion before you know the context of what you're seeing.

No, they have to accept a surrender but they don't have to take responsibility for the surrendered troops. If they DO take responisiblity then they have to treat them reasonably well but that doesn't apply. Of course if the Germans HAD surrendered then they wouldn't have been allowed to attack first afterwards. But they didn't, so it doesn't apply.

Nowhere does it say one force MUST negotiate terms or take surrendered persons into their care. But I'm sure you will point me to an international dicument that says otherwise?

discussing surrender would have bought time and saved lives . Note British war crime , establishing military positions in civilian homes and making no provision to protect the civilians , two war crimes .
@SamanthaSinger
@SamanthaSinger Год назад
It's never a war crime to refuse a particular offer of surrender. There are many reasons why a commander might consider it not the best time to surrender. Deaths are inevitable (otherwise no country would ever go to war!!) and it's a balance between military benefit and troop suffering. Always minimising suffering even if it gives away some military advantage is not a requirement of the Geneva conventions. It was also not a condition of the conventions back then to protect civilians in all situations as a first priority above military success. So, no, not two war crimes.
@Delogros
@Delogros Год назад
