Obviously that sounds like a horrible, undignified way to die but they were fighting for the German Army (presumably) and it was a war situation, and a particularly desperate one, even for WW2. |
Well, he didn't have much of a choice. It was join the army or die. :/ |
What about the Allied soldiers that they were shooting at?

Also, they surrendered and had given up all of their weapons. There was no reason to shoot them.

Depends on who actually caught them. If it was an airborne unit, then there may have been justification (unable to keep prisoners).
If it was at a batalion HQ, then we may be discussing a war crime.
