I think we must admit that we were not saint. And I think your veteran could be not everywhere and see everything.

A completely undocumented case. How it was confirmed those were Polish soldiers? I am not certain if they were in the area at the time. Also, the statement does not specify if they were executed, they could have been well shot during an escape attempt.
It is your custom to take any gossip as a true, but you cannot diminish my statement. It is very clear - Polish soldier present at the time of events provided me with an account which does not confirm any word of Stahlschmidt but a fact of his shot down. Construction of Stahlschmidt's account sound like it was directly taken from a propaganda publication.
That was exactly what I have stated and please do not try to change meaning of my words.
