As the sniper in Saving Private Ryan said, "Give me a clear shot at Adolph Hitler within a mile radius and that's it boys, pack yer bags, war's over".  I'm sure a lot of allied soldiers held the same sentiment.

After all it is considered bad form (not good cricket) to shoot the leaders & officers - only the grunts are fair game.
