    Amazing acts of mercy in war, not 100% sure how factual. A good read non the less
    Mercy isn't a part of any army's strategy. And yet, inspiring stories of mercy on the battlefield do turn up all through history. In the most inhumane settings, sometimes a little humanity shines through.

        Cool read, but I also am sceptical of it's accuracy of a couple of them. Especially the one about hitler, and Washington.

          This.

          #3 is 100% true. Regarding the others, the honor and mercy shown on numerous instances by the Kriegsmarine is well documented. I had three uncles in the Navy in the Atlantic during WWII (one on a supply ship, one on a battleship, and one on a destroyer). They all told me stories about instances of mercy of just honorable behavior by the Germans. Those were probably the last instances of gentlemanly warfare.
          "It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

            I watched a special on the history channel about Hilter being saved. The findings stated that Hitler was stationed in a different part or the country when it supposedly happened. They researched the documentation available and said that there are no documents that state Hitler was anywhere remotly close to that area.
