I dont condone the shooting of POW's either, but to be combat effective, you cant be trudging along the country side hauling along all surrendered soldiers if there's no sure fire way to be able to secure them. The POW's they did capture would have been a security risk, not to mention a risk to their lives if they had continued to move on with them.

Frankly, I dont think Spiers did it. He was a good soldier, not a butcher. But if he did do it, he had his reasons, and possibly would have recieved confirmation from higher up to shoot them.
