Hello ,

Here some remarquable pictures of a German execution

Posted on the French Histoforum , By Patrick Bediez and Roland .

Could not resist letting you share it ,

Furthermore that there have been so few executions

in the German army , total of 48

See the link.

Of course the pictures may very well have been staged (not sure)

But it looks too easy , unofficial , the guy sitting reading the sentence

Also I put in doubt the uniforms of the firing squad .

a hoax ?

anyhow here they are

I must say that it looks extremely staged. (Even "stills" from a moving picture?). The ones carrying out the "execution", however, are French.
