I m going to improve and finish my " bombed german town" diorama and I thought that together with the nice KC " volksturm" figures made some time ago for the defense of Berlin, it could be useful, in a german destroyed town also one " hanged" like in the photo below. It s macabre, but also realistic.

Tough one... realism vs morality. I am not sure I would buy-one for my fall of Berlin diorama but I definitely would have to think about it. K&C would be the most likely to do such a set based on their gestapo set etc. The moral question is where does it stop.. an ECW guillotine for Charles I or crucified gladiators for the roman series.
 
Realistic doesn't mean it should be made although it's an effective reminder of the brutality of war. Sometimes in this Forum we forget about that and delight in models and figures that cause so much misery.
 
JMO, but I don't think that there is a snowball's chance in Hades that KC would make anything like this. It crosses a line that would open up a road to a lot of gruesome scenarios. -- Al
