No, and to be honest I really dont care, they weren't that good since they were defeated and also they were a disgrace to the armed forces, they executed POWs and to me they were just cowards!
Wehrmacht units killed thousands of Polish civilians during the 1939 September campaign through executions and terror bombing of cities. After the end of hostilities, during the Wehrmacht's administration of Poland, which went on until October 25, 1939, 531 towns and villages were burned, and the Wehrmacht carried out 714 mass executions and a number of other crimes. Altogether, it is estimated that 16,376 Polish civilians had perished. Approximately 60% of these crimes were committed by the Wehrmacht.[1]
Atrocities during the Battle of FranceBetween May 25 and May 28 1940, the German Wehrmacht committed several war crimes in and near the small village of Vinkt. Hostages were taken and used as human shields. As the Belgian army continued to resist, farms were searched (and looted) for more hostages who were later executed. In all 86 civilians were executed, but the total death toll was probably 140. The reason for the carnage is unclear
