I still would not kill it probably, even though its nearly impossible to predict how you react under real conditions. After all, its not you killing all the hidden people, its the soldiers.

Starting to kill innocents here, is the stage before demanding torture to be committed by the state if it "helps saving lifes". I oppose that as well. Its abused by those who want to reintroduce barbaric acts under the disguise of rare extreme situations.

PS:
That sounds even more brutal than what happened in the German Reich.
