This is going to sound kind of strange, but this is the only place I can think of to ask for it, has anyone ever seen a picture, think it's WWII, of a young lad that had been killed by an axe to the head? Looks kind of like a barnyard in the background?

German Atrocities in the Balkans: German-Occupied Slovenia, 1944
August 26, 2014

German occupation troops committed horrific atrocities and war crimes in the former Yugoslavia during World War II. The country was dismembered and ceased to exist in 1941. In Serbia, the Pancevo and Kragujevac mass executions of civilians were the most brutal and shocking atrocities and war crimes. German occupation forces resorted to reprisals and punitive measures against the civilian population due to the guerrilla movements which were causing casualties for German occupation forces. The magnitude and scope of the Yugoslav resistance was unprecedented and came as a surprise to German forces. The German occupation forces had the law on their side as the victors. Under international law, the guerrillas had virtually little if any legal protections and could be summarily shot. They were technically not “legal combatants” under international laws and customs of war. They were what could be termed “terrorists”. The Germans took full advantage of their rights as occupiers. German forces were brutal against the resistance movements.

One of the most brutal actions was the execution of two 20-year-old Slovenian guerrillas who were killed on a farm in the Slovenian village of Idrijske Krnice west of Idrija in Slovenia on June 11, 1944. These executions are notable because German forces photographed the killings. The way the prisoners were killed was also noteworthy. The German troops used an axe to behead them.

Thanks Torque and great set but, not the one I was thinking of. While 20 was young, this kid was maybe 15-16 and I believe he'd been hiding in the barn

No regular German troops were directly responsible for that, but they brought the instability and desasters of war in the region. In the Balkan battlegrounds at last many old scores between the many different ethnics could be settled finally.
