dedworth i was stood at a memorial at 11am yesterday just like you, shooting prisoners can not be defended.
nor can shooting children or hanging body parts in trees.

Look how the allies dealt with germans dressed in US uniforms during the Battle of The Bulge or SS Guards when concentration camps were liberated

I don't think the Paras reached for the Geneva Convention or phoned a lawyer when Argentinians misbehaved under the cover of a white flag
