The next sentance then makes more sense. Affekthandlung – Wikipedia: An affect action (or short-circuit action) is a reactive action, the course of which is not controlled by the performer and which is motivated by intensely felt and mostly relatively short-lasting emotional excitement (affects). | |

| Feb 17, 2023 at 6:12 | comment | added | nvoigt | The German sentence is a little ambiguous, you could read it as "intended to teach him a lesson and killed him", as well as "killed him to teach him a lesson". The first interpretation makes more sense logically. Gramatically, both meanings are possible. | |

In such cases, where the topic is basicly a german topic, working through the german version (with help from Google Translate) is the best option since they often have more sources available. Your JSTOR and h-net.org article references books which are also summerised in an extra chapter: Konitzer Mordaffäre - Publizistische Aufarbeitung im neuen Jahrtausend - Wikipedia | |
