Large numbers of soldiers were involved.
Soldiers do kill innocent civilians for fun.
"Soldiers discussed with each other about how they enjoyed the killing, or how many women they had raped."
Secret transcripts reveal the inner workings of soldiers' minds
Another soldier reports: 'We beat her on the tits with a stick, clobbered her on the arse with a pistol, then all eight of us had her, then we threw her out and as she lay there, we threw grenades at her.
'She didn't half scream when they went off!'

Secret transcripts reveal the inner workings of soldiers' minds
Secretly recorded conversations "have laid bare the brutality and excesses" of soldiers.
Soldiers speak of the ‘fun’ and ‘pure enjoyment’ of massacring innocent civilians and enemy troops.
The transcripts reveal how "ordinary soldiers revelled in massacres."

Historians Soenke Neitzel and Harald Welzer used information from 13,000 military prisoners, from 1940-45, as the basis of their book "Soldiers: Diaries Of Fighting, Killing and Dying."
One soldier relates: "I used to shoot at everything...

Large numbers of soldiers were involved.
"The whole troop went off with their weapons and joined in.
"Everyone was allowed to pick which one they wanted to shoot."
One airman describes the ‘enormous fun’ he had in shooting fleeing civilians.
He relates: "When we were in low-altitude flight over the roads, if cars came to meet us, we kept the headlight on. That made the drivers think that there was oncoming traffic. Then we let rip with the cannon. It was a great success, beautiful, enormous, fantastic fun...
"As we came around the roofs would fly off. Wow! And on the marketplace we saw people gathered, people talked. We squirted off the guns. That was fun."
Another said: ‘We did a low level attack. We got there and there was this big house with a ball going on. There were lots of women in evening gowns and a band.
"We turned round and gave it to them. My dear fellow, that was fun!"
Another said: "I knocked off everything: buses, a civilian train... I gunned down every cyclist."
A corporal told how when his unit moved into villages, the first task was always to murder a pair of civilians.
"Then the chief said one day: 'Kill 20 – that will stop them having stupid thoughts in future,' he said.
"So we went off and enjoyed ourselves so much that we didn’t stop until we had reached 50."

Airforce officer: "I had to drop bombs on a station...
"Eight of the 16 bombs fell on the town, among the houses...
"On the fourth day I was enjoying it.
"It was our before-breakfast amusement to chase single soldiers over the fields with machine-gun fire and to leave them lying there with a few bullets in the back."

One conversation shows the callousness of the the ordinary squaddie.
Soldier Z - 'I killed a Frenchman from behind with a shot. He was riding a bike.'
Interrogator - 'From close to?'
Soldier Z - 'Yeah.'
Interrogator - 'Did he want to take you prisoner then?'
Soldier Z - 'Naah, I wanted his bike!'
