Hi Raymond Duray; Re the Geneva Convention... I'm just finished with a marathon viewing of the entire collected episodes of "Hogan's Heroes", and I can't find any evidence that the Germans did anything like this to our prisoners. I can find evidence for the occasional killing, plenty of beatings, but it doesn't seem that they paraded our guys around buck nekkid except for hoods over their faces, or forced them to masturbate in public. I don't get it. It looks more like the kind of thing an upper class college kid would consider suitable for a frat initiation than anything that would be done under military discipline. What are the historical precedents for this sort of thing? -- Carl
