Description: | image: To the right of the composition, a German army firing squad in profile, its rifles held at 45°, barrels smoking.
In the centre, a German officer bends down, revolver in hand to deliver the coupe de grce to a young man stretched out face down on the
ground. He wears only trousers and sabots, a patch of blood can be seen forming beneath his head and chest. Behind him, a garden wall and
the tops of small trees. In the background, the silhouettes of ruined houses. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Death civilian personnel Military Personnel German invasion of Belgium and France 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 |
