with regard to that clip from saving private ryan, captured germans were swiftly taken to england or canada so they could not be returned to the fight if the germans were able to capture camps in france, they didn't have alot of word about allied prison camps to make a decision on
so the germans were told all manner of things that you always say about the enemy, they will torture you, they will eat you etc.
that soldier was blind folded and told to walk in a direction until he found allied troops to turn himself into, that's a hard no lol
he knew where that squad was and what direction they were going in, they should have either shot him or turned him over to another unit themselves.
it was just a bit of hollywood drama, I guess spielberg felt it necessary to show that this squad was merciful, that squad was army rangers, they knew how to handle it better

Maybe, but in his case, acting pathetic might have been he only scenario that didn’t result in him shot in the head, if we coming from the assumption this happens to be a merciful troop. Because they are still super pissed you just killed one of them
And just because someone is acting pathetic doesn’t mean they are pathetic. Since I’m mostly a conglomerate of movie/show references…consider this clip from breaking bad. Was Walter White truly a sniveling coward trying to save his own life? Or did he know it was the only way to get a phone in his hands

Either way, better to try for sympathy if you think it has a chance of working. Rather than protests featuring rejecting the country you are trying to have take you in
