Description: | image: In the foreground of the composition towards the left, a young French girl runs, her arms clasped around a baby.
Her long hair streams behind her; she is dressed in traditional peasant garb, long dress with apron, and sabots. Behind her, an old man
falls backward to the ground, riddled with bullets, his uplifted arms clutching at air. Beside both figures to the right, a wounded
civilian lies, propping himself up by his arms on the corner of some steps. Directly behind the group lie several corpses. In the
background, through the billows of smoke advance five German soldiers, four infantrymen wearing pickelhaubes and an officer (with monocle)
firing as they go. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Death Action civilian personnel Military Personnel German invasion of Belgium and France looting / destruction Uniforms 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 |
