Much interesting info snipped. In fact, I agreed with

Actually the nazi he shot at the end was the same one he
"fussed about", and caused to be let go (on the condition
that he turns himself in to the next Allied troops he
encounters, and under no circumstances re-join a nazi
unit). He sees this same guy, who should be a prisoner
of war, not only "recycled" and fighting with the SS (as
feared), but actually shoot/kill Tom Hank's character.
*That's* why "the young Army idealist" shot the bastard;
not for "failing to jump and move when he ordered him
to move", as implied.
Good thing he shot him too; because if the other American
solider from the idealist's unit who survived -- the one who
was going to go AWOL in protest of letting the nazi prisoner
go the first time -- if he would've seen this same prisoner
at the end of the battle, he would probally have shot not
only the nazi, but the "young Army idealist" to boot --
especially if he ever found out he was the one who killed
the capt'n.
