I've googled this and I saw a bunch of people commenting different stuff. Some say yes and some say no.

What I really want to know is about D-DAY. I've rewatched the movie "Saving Private Ryan" again after watched it first some years ago.

Yes, I know it's only a movie but it seems very accurate to me.

The scene that got me the most questions up were when the medics got shot at while helping a wounded soldier. The MG-42 still shoot at the medics (i think they were three.) Luckily , the bullets didnt hit them because there was a dead body taking all these bullets.

Now I wonder if this happend aswell in WW2. [EDIT: Meaning with WW2 is the real life, not the movie!] I know there is this Geneva Convention but I read online that some wrote not every respected it and still kept on shooting medics when they were unarmed and healing their wounded comrades.

Thanks and I hope someone can answer my question :)
