Saturday, December 1, 1945. Executed for authorizing unauthorized executions.

 Ge. Anton Dostler, age 54, was executed for following a trial which convicted him of authorizing the execution of 15 U.S. soldiers on a commando type operation. They were in uniform, and clearly combatants entitled to protection under the Geneva Convention.

Odd, eh, that there was a time when the US cared about things like that?
