context_section_description: On June 26, 1944, an attack by partisans killed an NCO and a private. Scheungruber and the commander of the battalion gave an order to retaliate, which was carried out on the same day. Initially, a 74-year-old woman and three men were shot dead on a street at random by soldiers. Then, eleven men were captured and taken to the ground floor of a farmhouse in the village of Falzano di Cortona. The house was then dynamited, killing ten men who were 16 – 66 years of age. However, fifteen-year-old Gino Massetti survived the blast and would later give evidence against the defendant. A memorial to the victims of this war crime and to the victims of all war crimes committed by German mountain infantry (Gebirgsjäger) throughout Europe during World War II was inaugurated in Mittenwald on March 21, 2010.
