They were in a race to Berlin so they were told not to stop for anything. They came upon a concentration camp. It was in the woods but they had cleared 100 yards of forest around the camp. They broke the locks off of gates and cells. There were only a few guards left. One of them made a break for the woods. One of the other men was going to shoot him because they were afraid he would become a sniper. Three prisoners gave chase. They caught the guard right before he got to the woods. They took his gun from him and he pleaded for his life. They executed him. And every just kept going.

I’m sure most troops would turn a blind eye if his finger slipped.

Showing an infinite amount of restraint.
