A US Marine gives a cigarette to a Japanese soldier buried in the sand. Iwo Jima, 1945
The first Japanese prisoner to be taken on Iwo Jima, Japan, is dragged from shell hole on May 16, 1945, where he lay buried for 1.5 days, playing dead to Marines who used it for a fox hole. After knocking away a live grenade that lay a few inches from his hand, Marines dragged him out after he promised an interpreter that he would offer no resistance. A stretcher was thrown down and he rolled on it and was then lifted out.

Onnie - Not a cheap shot. It's the way the game was played in 1912; greater physical contact at the bases.

Fireworks in France are banned by the way, after several Paris detachments went to the town hall to surrender, following a firework on 1946 New Year Eve.

Floyd,
"Once proud France" were Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan. But they are fictional characters of course.

"2ème division de la France Libre" wearing US uniforms, US helmets and riding an US tank. French soldiers don't even needed helmets to surrender by the way.
