LOL! Seems to me that he's just showing him how to use the rifle. Given as how naive Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini was, and what an utter failure he was in his political career, I doubt that he had any "wise instructions" he could pass on.
Though who knows... Considering what an abominable failure the muslim Handschar SS division was, maybe he DID pass on some "instructions" ;)

A "boy soldier" on the Eastern Front. Russian children orphaned by the war often attached themselves to military units, both Russian and German, serving as messengers, cooks, scouts, flak battery gunners and spotters,and even spies. Here we see a boy soldier in Soviet uniform, armed with a Mosin Nagant M38 carbine, and a German "potato masher" hand grenade. He is flanked by Luftwaffe (German Air Force) troops. Another Russian volunteer in the German Army is seen at the far right of the photo. The best example for this "kind" of boy soldier can be seen at the movie ENEMY AT THE GATES...

Although the shooting of German POW's was discouraged among the allies it did occur on various occasions. Watch this!

Your correct ardennes man.
There used to be an Canadian Vet whom posted here occasionally and
he once said that he was told to take no prisoners, of which he didn't.

In war anything can happen and does.

Thanks for posting link.

Only for accuracy: The second person on the picture certainly also is alive. I´ve seen some thousand dead persons but none of them had eyes and mouth closed.
