Talk:Anton Dostler

message: Clarification: The 15 American soldiers were dressed as civilians, out of uniform, therefore spies, engaged in a military mission. Sorry to say, and correct me if I'm wrong, but according to the "rules of war" isn't death the appropriate punishment?

replies: text: You're wrong. They were dressed with US military uniforms, so after capture they should have been treated as POWs. Their execution was unlawful, making Dostler a war criminal. The andf (talk) 00:10, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

text: And I disagree. Dostler was executed as a war criminal. What was murder was his execution of POWs. The andf (talk) 00:11, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The Americans regularly executed POWs. In any case Dostler was following a direct order from Kesselring. (Bhdjed (talk) 19:18, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: No, but plenty of evidence he was a war criminal. He was executed for war crimes, not for being a Nazi. The andf (talk) 00:07, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

message: The statement, that Dostler was buried in Pomezia immediately after his execution, cannot be true. This is because the Pomezia military cemetery was not built until 1947 and was opened to the public in 1960. Monte Pelmo (talk) 10:19, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
