Prisoners on the occupied Channel Islands were shot for fun by their Nazi guards during the Second World War, research has found.
On Sundays, around a dozen inmates at Sylt - one of the two camps the Germans ran on occupied Alderney - would be chosen for the horrifying target practice.
They were taken to a nearby light railway and tied to trucks before being shot in different parts of their body until they died, according to testimony uncovered by a British artist.
The research by Piers Secunda, 49, is the latest evidence of atrocities committed by the Nazis during their occupation of the Channel Islands from 1940 to 1945.
Mr Secunda spoke to the daughters of former Sylt inmate Giorgi Zbovorski, who died in 2006.
