    I don't have anything to say about this quote, but I do question the German 'case' against Lieutenant Dunbar for saboratge. I don't know my international law, but it seems to me that they can't charge Dunbar with sabaotage, even if they could prove he blew up the ammunition train, since they knew he was an American servicemen and he was always in uniform. He was supposed to be under guard. Blame the guards who obviously weren't watchig him closely enough.
