Re: Misconduct on operations #10

"surrendering or abandoning a place when under a duty to defend it."

So the rear gunner of a WW2 Bomber, which was on fire having been shot up and who had no intercom with any other crew member, was not justified in deciding to abandon the aircraft?

Which side are HMG on?

PS How many WW2 Field Marshals and Generals DID NOT order (or allow) the Forces under their command to abandon certain positions which they had a duty to defend?

Where would we have been if we had not evacuated Dunkirk?
