#1 This reporter knew what he was doing, going into a village near to where the Germans had blown up those gasoline trucks. He and his translator were looking for "civilian victims" against the war effort.

I read that when the commandos arrived, the translator stood up and yelled "Journalist!" repeatedly, and then was shot by person or persons unknown. Since the commandos knew who to look for, I suspect that he was rotten, and the commandos put a bullet in him.
