This is how the germans have fun.
His name was Franc Sešek from Bukovica near Škofja Loka.
He was shoot on 22.8.1941, not 1942.
He was one of the early partisans and one of the first to be captured and shot. Therefore Germans made a PR photoshoot out of the event. When the resistance escalated later, Germans weren’t so eager to record the executions anymore and there were plenty of those.
Funny how Germans, Italians and Ustaše thought that photographing Partisans being executed was a good idea to break the morale of the population.
It completely backfired and made the Jugoslav people angrier and eager to join the Partisans.
