Massacre during Second World War

During the German Invasion of Poland in 1939, Wehrmacht soldiers and SS mass murdered 300 civilians from the town on 9th and 10th September. The victims were chosen at random, from all males gathered in the town square and then randomly selected for execution as alledged attackers against German Army. 41 % of murdered were teenagers(11 years to 16 years old), but people as old 78 years were killed as well. The victims were later buried in mass graves [Szymon Datner "55 dni Wehrmachtu w Polsce" page 315-324] .
