Description: | image: The interior of a butcher's shop; in the centre of the composition, a German infantryman murders the son of the
house. Bending over the prostrate body of the boy, the soldier, his left hand upon his knee for support, raises a meat cleaver in his
right hand to give the coup de grce. In the background to the right, a pair of upturned feet fade out of the composition. From the
centre to the left, the bench and accoutrements of the butcher's trade together with a hanging pig's carcass. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Death civilian personnel Military Personnel German invasion of Belgium and France 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 |
