| Apr 7, 2019 at 11:24 | comment | added | user23839 | @vsz Do you have any evidence that it were the Soviets who did that? | |
| Apr 7, 2019 at 9:22 | comment | added | jpmc26 | @vsz Right. I was trying to point out that there's no reason to expect the death to be just. Your point makes that even less likely. | |
| Apr 7, 2019 at 9:11 | comment | added | vsz | @jpmc26 : Neither were the Soviets. So we can't rule out either that the Nazis did the killing, nor that the Soviets did it and used it for propaganda. | |
| Apr 7, 2019 at 9:03 | comment | added | jpmc26 | "What made the possession of pigeons so dangerous that it justified the killing of a child?" The Nazis were not known for their just treatment of individuals... | |
