Re: Execution by Firing Squad

Usually, it was so that the person being executed did not know exactly who their executioner was (some type of standard). Also there were times where only one or two of the soldiers had a round in their rifle to make the kill (not the case in this video given the dirt flying up in the background). Just some back-up info

Re: Execution by Firing Squad

Execution Of German Spies by American Military Police Firing Squad (1945). This video, taken on June 11, 1945, includes the controversial execution of 2 Hitler youths, Heinz Petry and Josef Schöner, aged 16 and 17.

There were actually three boys, two of them students of AHS.(Adolf Hitler School) Of the latter one who was arrested by the Americans, could escape. The other two were convicted and executed on 01.06.1945. That was the Adolf Hitler students Heinz Petry and the Hitler Youth Josef Schöner (not Schener). In the court's opinion of the U.S. military the accusation of spying served only as a pretext for the Chairman of the Military Court who emphasized in the court's opinion "that the responsibility for the fate of the two boys lies with the Nazi leaders, and they only, will send send them to their deaths. The German military and political leaders force us", said the chairman,"to fight fire with fire and blood with blood. We will not tolerate those responsible to hide behind women and children". Unless the presiding judge considered this a "deterrent sentence", he unjustly sentenced the sixteen and seventeen year-old boys whose guilt as so called spies did not justify the death penalty. Read the text quoted in the "Aachen News" of 6 June 1945.

Re: Execution by Firing Squad

Great quality. Even better than most of the recent stuff despite being over 60 years old
