Somewhere England ??



In the Pacific ?


During a Warsaw uprising:

And Finally, to me this one 'says' a great deal about the condition that is modern conflict:



The battle for Saigon 1968.

Seriously dude, you have to wonder about that one?

Any idea when the execution ones are, and who is being executed? I'm guessing WW2/Nazis.

Going on memory:


1st one is battle of the bulge, German in American uniform getting wacked.

2nd one is Dachau camp guards getting it. By paratroopers I think.

Yes, on the money with that.

I recognised the 2nd photo as it's fairly famous; details here at this wiki page which bizarrely calls the events the Dachau massacre, almost as if not much had taken place along those lines until then:

Fuck 'em.  Next time don't get caught in a US uniform, or sticking around long enough to keep running the EZ-Bake Jew ovens.

The Americans seemed to have acted with restraint; in the case of the 'spies' the three photographed at execution had had a trial along with another 10-12 executed elsewhere.
Indeed Skorenzy, was put on trial for planning and commanding the commandos and he was found not guilty, not least because a British SOE agent testified in his defence that he'd similarly warn enemy uniforms.

Indeed the US even conducted an investigation into the killing of SS camp guards and other Germans at the concentration camp, going so far as to consider court martials, before clearer heads prevailed ( Patton's).
