Well, the Geneva Conventions are a postwar agreement; therefore, they could
not apply to WWII. I also suspect the Brit was parroting a military "urban
legend." Many supposed "restrictions" on the "conduct of warfare" related
to the Conventions are nothing of the sort, or at least so I am told by a
fellow who used to teach military classes on the subject. I'll see if I
can't get him to find out whether the national symbol--not all countries use
them, BTW--is required.
