Re: Luftwaffe Escape and Evasion

There is no reason to put in doubt Datner's research in this respect. It was a neutral subject at the time. The first executions happened in Poland in 1939, the most well known being massacre of Polish PoWs at Ciepielów. The question is if thise were soldiers' initiative or inspired by higher command. It is worth to note that most of the crimes were committed by Wehrmacht and not Waffen SS, which palyed minor role in the campaign.

My uncle was there, 11th assault engineering coy, but I cannot ask him anymore. This is not the point. The point is that there must be some evidence, as there is in multiple cases of other such incidents. As yet in this case we do not even have reputed time and place, not to mention any evidence.
