Description
English: Mass execution of Poles in Piaśnica (Groß Piasnitz) in the Darzlubska Wilderness (Polish Pomerania) conducted by nazi Germans. In the foreground a firing squad composed of members of so-called "Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz". The picture was taken by Waldemar Engler - volksdeutscher from Wejherowo and member of the SS (he was photographer in civilian life) Prints of photos that he made in Piaśnica were stolen by his Polish workers. One of them Józef Czosek (d. 2004), revealed his secret two weeks before death of old age.[1]
Polski: Masowa egzekucja Polaków przeprowadzana przez Niemców w Piaśnicy. Na pierwszym planie pluton egzekucyjny złożony z członków paramilitarnego Selbstschutzu (obywateli Polskich niemieckiego pochodzenia). Zdjęcie wykonał Waldemar Engler - volksdeutscher z Wejherowa, a zarazem członek SS (w cywilu fotograf). Odbitki zdjęć, które wykonał w Piaśnicy zostały wykradzione przez jego polskich pracowników, m.in. Józefa Czoska z volkslisty, wcielonego do Luftwaffe. Swoją tajemnicę ujawnił dopiero dwa tygodnie przed śmiercią w 2004 roku.
