Hello , was the German who put the noose around the neck of the 17 year old Yugoslav Lepa Radic ever identified ? Regards Alan They know the place and SS unit
I couldn't find any mention of the name of the solder on the photo. She is hanged in Bosanska Krupa by members of 7. SS Division "Prinz Eugen". SS Brigadeführerl Schmidthuber, commander of 14. SS Regiment, later received from his subordinated executions report: "A bandit hanged in Bosanska Krupa showed an unprecedented incarnation.". He was hanged himself after the war for war crimes in Yugoslavia.
I guess the soldier was just doing his job and glad the commander paid the price . I wonder given the photographic evidence whether the War Crimes Commission ever looked for this soldier ?
