You could say that but its both when Japan or Soviets involved (Countries that didnt sign the geneva convention) these things become hard to find, I cant find Americans helping Japanese Soldiers or Germans helping Soviet Soldiers (unless its 1939 and theyre invading Poland together) when both America and Germany signed the geneva convention but there is Chiune Sugihara that I know of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiune_Sugihara) but would you consider this helping the enemy?
When you look at World War 2 and read everything about it you have to admit the Eastern Front and the Pacific was much more Brutal than the Afican or Western Front
The Pacific was horrific compared to the Eastern Theatre and unspeakable compared to the Afrika Theatre.
Irwin Rommel is one of the more outstanding human beings during the conflict.
He treated his counterparts with civility and chivalry
Sometimes it blows to think that the war involved more than this polished little simulation that we subscribe ourselves to. Volksgrenadiers were comprised of the elderly and the young.

Actually you are incorrect.
The volks you are thinking are actually
Volksstrum
Volksgrenadiers were actually Grenadiers renamed to build morale
Russian and Germans hated each other, Americans considered Japanese inferior savages and Japanese considered Americans huge evil demons.
+1.
I dont have the photo, but I saw one a while ago where a Sherman tank crew had a decapitated Japanese soldiers head on their tank... Just goes to show how much they hated one another.
