Escaped and killed executioner?

Post Reply New Topic

I recently i watch video about underage solderers during WW1.


In this film was mentioned that many soldiers especially the younger ones do not withstand the psychological pressure and fled from the battlefield or deserted, many of them have been sentenced to death by firing squad for cowardice.

I wonder does there ware cases when sentenced solider go berserk and try to escape or even try to kill members of firing squad

Are you talking about firing squad victims in general (including civilian capital criminals, and political prisoners) ?

Or just soldiers being executed for cowardice?

Never heard of any kind of firing squad victim going beserk and attacking the firing squad, but I am sure it mustave happened sometime.

Being tied up, and blindfolded, and unarmed, puts you at a distinct disadvantage against seven guys with rifles. Even the guy they give the random blank round to can still beat you with a rifle butt.

But hey...if you're about to be shot- doesnt hurt to TRY to fight back I guess! Lol!
