Description: | image: In the centre of the composition, a German soldier, shown in profile facing left, shoots an unarmed and wounded
civilian. The German, in regulation dress, complete with pickelhaube and a rolled blanket tied around his torso from the right shoulder,
empties a revolver at the head of the wounded man. The latter, lying on ground and supporting himself upon his right elbow attempts to
protect his bandaged head with his left hand. In the background to the right, another German soldier, his back to the viewer clubs a
prostrate body with his rifle butt. In the sky to the left fly three black birds. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Weapons Death civilian personnel Military Personnel German invasion of Belgium and France 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 |
