Massacre during Second World War

During the German Invasion of Poland in 1939, Wehrmacht soldiers and local German minority members murdered 44 people from the town on 14th September. Some of the victims were brutally beaten with rifles(up to the point that they broke apart). [Szymon Datner "55 dni Wehrmachtu w Polsce" page 387-388] .
