Sure, I'm looking at the same picture.I see the man holding a pistol, another on his knees. What the picture doesn't show is whether or not the intended victim and his fallen comrades were shooting at german or ukranian soldiers 45 minutes prior..........partisans or maquis? Granted, the germans did make reprisals against civilians after partisans hit their troops but not to the same scale as Ghengis Khan or William Tecumseh Sherman.
Re; the photos of piles of personal belongings. Plenty of people died in the war. I'm sure such piles could have been amassed after the bombing of Dresden in which conservative estimates place the death toll at 35,000. The germans claim 100,000 killed at what had been an untouched and lightly defended refugee collection point. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/2WWdresden.htm
