Spanish SS [sic] execute three civilians at S. Giorgio di Nogaro

Six soldiers have captured three civilians near a high stone wall. One of the civilians has been shot in the face and is falling to the ground. The two remaining civilians have been blindfolded and have guns pointed to their heads. An officer is walking away from the scene carrying his gun.

Inscriptions read “287”; signed by the author; caption reads “29 APRILE 1945. 3 civili spogliati dei loro vestiti, e trucidati dalle “SS” spagnole dietro il cimitero di S. Giorgio di Nogaro UD”.

Caption translates as: “29 April 1945. Three civilians are forcedly disrobed and then slaughtered by Spanish Schutzstaffel [sic] behind the cemetery of San Giorgio di Nogaro (Udine province).”
