The Shooting Of Prisoners Of War.

Here I have given the names of the prisoners that were shot and the names of who shot them. I have the reports of the shootings. I know some would like to know why their ancestor would shot a prisoner, and the ancestors of the prisoners would like to know why they were being shot.

If you see a name of interests and would like a report can request it at the following.
