Thank you Karmen and Geoff for the confirmation that our two uncles are buried side by side. They fought and died together. I was sitting here trying to imagine the horror in that courtyard. I think that those men didn't even get a chance to cry out or even say a small prayer.

Hi Pauline,

Our Uncle's and the rest of the group with them were executed in a field, not a courtyard, but there was another group of soldiers executed in a courtyard location.

I think I'll type out some of the information from Howard Margolian's book, "Conduct Unbecoming", Chapter 9, beginning on page 90, entitled "The Mohnke Murders", that tells about the events and what happened to the group of soldiers that our Uncle's were executed with. Please bear with me while I type it out in my word processor then upload it here.

Karmen.
