[edit] Comment

Maybe it should be mentioned that after General Rose´s death his troops gathered 100 German POW´s and murdered them in revenge. A typical US war crime of that time.

Sadly, such things happened on both sides.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.173.54.187 (talk • contribs) 10:09, 11 August 2006.

No question it happened on both sides, but MUCH LESS on the Allied side. I fail to see how it can be described as "typical". DMorpheus 12:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I can only imagine that an implication from the top author is that more German POWs were murdered during 1943-45 battles in Italy & NW Europe than Allied POWs. Examples of murdered Allied POWs are well known by their countries (e.g., Canadians in Normandy, US at Malmédy).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.173.54.187 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 11 August 2006. Here is a Jewish source for the outcome for some German POWs, and others, in March & April, 1945: (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/ww2/malmedy3.html)

"Examples of murdered Allied POWs are well known by their countries" That´s right. Examples of murdered German POWs are lesser known. History is written by winners. -- 145.253.238.10 09:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Watson's relief?

Anyone have details on Gen Watson's relief in Normandy? From my reading it appears the performance of 3AD in Normandy was dissappointing, and the unit was used as separate combat commands until Watson was replaced. It was only after that that it was employed as a concentrated division. But I don't have the details on exactly why he was relieved. DMorpheus 07:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GIBluesElvis.jpg

Image:GIBluesElvis.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
