enemy came and that consequently
no enemy could have fired the shots.

civilians who had fired
1T is absolutely certain that officers,
even of very high rank, believed that
the civilians had shot. II is also Ger
tain that officers as we'll us soldiers
deliberately accused civilians of pos
scssing arms which they did not pos

themselves had fired"
After cnumcrating n number of in

done solely by German soldiers the
report goes on:
Did the commander also believe the
shooting, and did he report it TO his
chief, adding that several officers of
high rank had fallen? Was the ordc
