Exactly. Red I dont now if I can take us agreeing so much any longer.

But you couldn't have executed them if they were playing dress up within Germany or a neutral country could you?
You certainly could if they were spies. Again any German military personel not in uniform caught behind our lines in Germany could have been shot. I would think if you could produce leave papers ot something like that you could get off. But if you did anything against our troops youd be toast.
