The summary executions of combatants that have surrendered is a war crime.

There's an older Nicholas Cage movie "Captain Corrllelis Mandolin" based on this. Never seen it but might be worth a gander.

Phrased it the way I did because I wasn't sure from the article if all the Italian troops executed chose to fight the Germans or some had already surrendered their positions. Either way, it is a war crime.
