Polish civilians. German fighter-bombers bombed a farm house while a bunch of women were digging potatoes. Two women in the house were killed, but those in the fields were unharmed. They got back to digging potatoes out, because what else can they do? The fighter-bombers returned a few minutes later and strafed the field with machine gun fire. Two women were killed (you can see her hand still over the bullet wound in her chest). The girl was her younger sister.

Polish girl Kazimiera Mika and her dead sister Andzia Mika.

The photo was taken by an American national living in Warsaw - Julien Bryan. It's on Tatarska street in Warsaw, the wall behind is the fence of Powazki, Warsaw's largest cementery. A large kitchen was set up there for civilians and the girls were waiting in line when a group of German planes arrived. They dropped 25 bombs, all of which except one hit the civilians. Bryan later claimed that there was no way that the planes could not notice that they are bombing civilians.

Little Kazimiera Mika survived the war and was still alive as of 2012.

The SS was a political club for fanboys of the Nazi party -- not necessarily a fighting group (though they were expected to carry arms, and bully and intimidate when necessary). Being a standard-bearer was an honour reserved for leading town/region politicians/party functionaries. Again, not always the fittest group...

>>1647193
This is not 'historical', but from a movie from the 1950s. Immediate post-war Germany wasn't very good at critical reflection, and tended to focus on sentimental or comedy (i.e. distraction) themes. The movie takes a few liberties, but is pretty tame and rather cheesy.

>The mission was to the Shell Oil Refinery in Budapest, Hungary, 14 July 1944. An 88mm shell exploded in the nose, causing it to peel up and over the cockpit, just missing the tail assembly. Henderson and Dudley were killed instantly. The back section of the plane filled with dense smoke and the five men in that section bailed out. Unbelievably, Swanson and Berndt kept the plane flying for about 10 minutes without instruments or windshield. Sub-zero weather and fear of stalling made it necessary for the three men up front to bail out. All eight survivors were captured.

Pretty sure they're colonial troops, or colonial subject visitors anyway. You can see Italian flags, so I assume they're Eritrean or Libyan, more likely Eritrean.

Nazis thought blacks subhuman, primitive but easily controlled, and 'bad' only in a sort of pesky inoffensive way like insects or something. Full hate was reserved for Jews and Commies, which African muslims were definitely not.

>>1666291
Not Nazis, but pre-Nazi nationalist anti-communist militias.
