I know that in the Pacific, Mush Morton machine gunned Japanese survivors in the water and actually got a medal for it. In fact, shows that gunning survivors in the water was considered legitimate policy.
Pretty damn cold.

IF they were in the water, why not just leave them there? What threat is a man floating in the water to a ship, or even a some survivors in a life boat? It was a war crime by our own standards. Eck was executed for doing the very same thing to survivors in a life raft.
Eck's side didn't win the war.
