WOMEN
Your attitude toward women is wrong -- in Germany. You'll see a lot of good-looking babes on the make there. German women have been trained to seduce you. Is it worth a knife in the back ? In Holland, girls belonging to the resistance made dates with German soldiers. Just after dark they walked their dates along a canal or river. At certain places, Dutchmen waited. Then, a wallop with a sock full of sand from behind, and another unconscious German soldier was shoved into a canal to drown.
One Dutchman now serving with the Ninth Army teamed with his sister to drown 15 Germans in canals during the German occupation of Holland. Altogether hundreds of German soldiers were "liquidated" this way. A French resistor says: "From my experience during five years of occupation, I know that German women are often used as underground workers, and sometimes they are slyer and more fanatic than men."
CHILDREN
Toward children, you're wrong again. You've generously given them chewing gum and candy all across Europe. Don't do it now. All kids aren't friendly and innocent. Yell "Achtung" (attention) at a bunch of these kids and watch them snap-to. That's how they're trained. For what? You guess. A kid can carry messages. A kid can shoot you just as dead as a grown man. Some German kids have been trained for underground work, espionage and sabotage.
In January 1945, a known group of five boys between the ages of 12 to 16 were behind our lines attempting to cut telephone lines. They had been trained for that job -- and others -- in a school of sabotage for boys. The idea was that soft-hearted Americans who like children so much wouldn't suspect kids of sabotage. You wouldn't suspect these five -- just talking to them

from Germany Occupation Booklet 1945
"Don't Be a Sucker in Germany"
(largely still relevant for U.S. troops in Iraq in 2003-2004)
Distributed to 3AD troops in May, 1945, shortly after the German surrender, this 15-page booklet was the 12th Army Group's basic primer for GI's as occupiers. It was then "Restricted" (Classified) info that makes very interesting reading now.
if that really had been a wedding party, then they have qualified themselves for the darwin awards.
