One of the reasons for Hitlers order re Commandos I read, was that unfortunatly some Commandos had been captured on a raid and had a paper copy of there orders, in which it stated no prisoners were to be taken. I can understand why this would be given the Commandos type of operation, but carrying a written order stating that, was to say the least unfortunate. I belive handcuffing of POWS for a while also came about due to this, but stand to be corrected. As for the Stalag Luft escape and subsequant killings I would most deffinetly agree with your comments.
