So many things don't even make sense. "Hey Hans, should we use our MG to take out the Americans a hundred yards away?" "No, let's trick them into arm's reach and use our pistol to kill one, then stand around while the other one shoots us all". Most likely is the Germans did successfully surrender, Audie took their weapons, and then gunned them down. His friend called him a murderer guilty of war crimes so got a bullet too.
