und Alexander Watson: "In sum, Watson deemed the shotgun wounds as evidence of sporadic acts of irregular resistance, but doubted that there was an organized people’s war."
und Oswald Überegger "Yet, he argued, even if there was a
Franktireurkrieg one should not see it as the only cause for German atrocities: time pressure – the so-called
Vorwärtspanik (foreward panic) –, inexperience, the heat of battle and predispositions all marked real and imaginary factors contributing to the (temporary) escalation of violence."
und Axel Tixhon: "In his opinion, the case illustrates Keller's omission of important sources, the absence of irregular resistance on the Belgian side and the systematic nature of German war crimes."
und Oliver Janz: " (He) stressed the unquestionable fact of sporadic attacks on German troops, but also mentioned their political instrumentalization in Germany as an alleged
Franktireurkrieg in order to brush over one’s crimes."
