Abstract
During the Second World War the British Army faced a difficult task when it tried to transform recruits who were mostly peace-loving civilians, into men prepared to kill. This article examines how it went about doing so and how front-line soldiers responded to the demand that they kill their German (and Italian) opposite numbers. It also analyses the extent to which front-line soldiers in the British Army retained a sense of a shared common humanity with their enemies that transended the political divisions of the war. It does so by analysing the ways in which they treated their enemies when they were completely at their mercy, either as prisoners of war or as civilians in occupied territory.
