Description: | image: Four German soldiers - three infantrymen and an officer - surround a father and child; the father facing the viewer
covers his face with both hands, his terrified daughter clings to his right side. She gazes at the officer, his back to the viewer, who
holds a revolver in his right hand while pointing to the floor with his left. From behind, the pair are being pushed forward by one of the
soldiers. The remaining two soldiers, one with his back towards the viewer, one in profile to the right of the composition, stand
watching, their rifles at the ready. The father and daughter are being forced to trample the Belgium national flag (on the floor) prior to
their execution. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | civilian personnel Military Personnel German invasion of Belgium and France Torture children Uniforms propaganda Atrocities and War Crimes Imperial German Army | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Domergue, Jean-Gabriel | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
