Self preservation. If the enemy finds out you knew about someone else breaking the law, you're likely to be in just as much trouble.
Many, many people in these kinds of situations would ensure that their life and the lives of families were safe first and foremost, even if it meant doing something morally reprehensible.
We'd all like to think we would never snitch in this situation, but I think most people's mettle would be tested when it came down to it.
Everyone likes to call this guy an asshole. I think he's a realistic human being.
Honor doesn't put food on the table. Occupying forces wouldn't use fear if it wasn't effective at breaking people who would otherwise have each other's interests in mind.
