Given the position of this soldier, to the left of the casualty, as well as the distance, the empty cartridge that was released from his rifle cannot have been the cause of this head shot. Note the casualty right neck is never exposed to the rifleman standing a little behind and to his left. Given the shell case ejected somewhat forward toward the wall it couldn't possibly hit the right side of the neck of the casualty. <br /><br />Here is a link to our photo album, showing each frame shot in close detail:<br /><br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/144112920@N02/albums/72157684971369290Ron van Dopperenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14487667858515984324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472447187003320713.post-49618895172908068662017-08-23T03:08:44.212+02:002017-08-23T03:08:44.212+02:00Someone on Reddit discovered that the wounded sold...Someone on Reddit discovered that the wounded soldier actually only gets a hot spent shell casing ejected into his collar courtesy of the soldier behind him: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/6vdgyj/recently_discovered_authentic_footage_of_a_german/<br /><br />I guess the bulge on his neck could be something else, but that seems like it would be a unrealistic coincidence.chubachushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007013481371647443noreply@blogger.com
