Why would the Germans, who, during World War I, pioneered strategic bombing, U-boat attacks on commercial shipping, and chemical warfare protest the use of a shotgun? Specifically, the Winchester Model 97 pump-action shotgun? After the Germans captured several American soldiers who were carrying this weapon, they complained that its use violated the 1899 and 1907 Hague Conventions, warning that any American captured with this weapon would be executed. The U.S. government rejected Germany’s protest, outlining its apparent hypocrisy on the matter. The army’s acting judge advocate, Brigadier General Samuel T. Ansell, wrote in a memo: “An implement of warfare is not to be condemned because of its effectiveness to kill or to wound. It is to be condemned only when it wounds, or does not kill immediately, in such a way as to produce suffering that has no reasonable relation to killing or placing the man out of action for an effective period.” But what do you think? Were the Germans right in protesting the use of the M97? Let us know in the comments. #themilitaryshow
