TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Reconstruction of methods of execution of the death penalty by shooting in the years 1949-1954 based on exhumation research of "prison fields" in Osobowicki Cemetery in Wroclaw. Part II--analysis of gunshot injuries JO - Archiwum Medycyny Sadowej i Kryminologii A1 - Szleszkowski, Łukasz A1 - Thannhäuser, Agata A1 - Kawecki, Jerzy A1 - Szwagrzyk, Krzysztof A1 - Swiatek, Barbara SP - 87 EP - 97, 75 VL - 62 IS - 2 N2 - The analysis of gunshot injuries in prisoners who were executed in Wroclaw penitentiary in the years 1949-1954 shows divergences from legal regulations describing the method of execution. This observation leads to the conclusion that the predominant method of execution of the death penalty was a gunshot or gunshots to the back of the head, which is analogous to the results of exhumation works on collective graves of war prisoners executed during World War II in the territory of the former Soviet Union.
