Nov 11, 2022 at 15:35 comment added ShadowRanger @AakashM: The Geneva Convention (as we refer to it nowadays) was from 1949, but it's actually an update on a pair of treaties from 1929 (all of them part of a group of such treaties collectively known as the Geneva Conventions), and there were other active Geneva Conventions (and protocols, and the Hague Conventions as well) that all were in place during WWII. Not sure which of these rules were inherited from the 1929 conventions, but odds are there were similar rules in place.
