Paul R Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Holy cow. I wonder what the situation of the shooting was? A lynching or did he try to resist/flee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hello, Nazi Party officials encouraged common people to lynch the prisoners .the ocurrence was rather common if not the rule when the Aircrewmen were not taken prisoners by Regular Armed Forces members. in other incident in December of 1944 Kreisleiter Franz Strasser and Police captain Lindermeyer killed 5 aircrewmen of the 20 th Bomber Sqdn USAAF .this took place at Kaplitz , Czech Republic today .Strasser was tried condemned and hanged .Lindermeyer commited suicide while in custody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
