Here is a conundrum for the thread:

When the American Army liberated Buchenwald (if memory serves), they encountered horribly emaciated prisoners and a sullen skeletal staff. After making the rounds of the camp, and appreciating what had gone on, more or less, the GIs guarding the SS lost it, and began to fire their machine guns into the SS prisoners. Their rage was so acute, the officers did not try to interfere for some while, until the worst of the carnage was over. Then, the officers reimposed discipline. In the end, they decided not to charge anyone. Do you think they did the right thing, or should the offending GIs have been busted for having lost it over the horror they had encountered?
