Just to play devils advocate...

Suppose one of those 15 year olds was born in Canada of German descent and then his parents decided to move back to Germany a couple of years later. Then WWII starts up and he's drafted into the German Army. He has no choice... its either go or be shot by a firing squad. Is he a traitor?
