Northern Africa seems to be a good source of stories. One on
www.afrikakorps.de tells of an incident, where a German assault force
pretty much destroyed a British convoy. When they came close to mop
up, they found only the British tending to their wounded. In pity they
pitched in and helped out until suddenly another British force
arrived. The British in turn, instead of taking the Germans prisoners
just saluted when those guys left.

So each went apart, to shoot each other at a later time.

The moral of the story: Even in a gruesome war there are some stories
that tell of humanity still being alive...


Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
