German judicial officials have opened an inquiry into the 1940 killings by German troops of at least 1,500 African soldiers serving in the French army, said a German official in charge of investigating Nazi war crimes Tuesday. Writing in a German publication, German historian Raffael Scheck confirmed that the Wehrmacht, or German ground forces, executed at least 1,500 soldiers from French overseas colonies who were fighting alongside French troops when the Germans entered France in 1940.

The mortal remains of Czech war heroes executed by the Nazis during WW2 probably still serve as instruction material in medicine lessons at German and Austrian universities. Among these samples may even be the corpses of Czech paratroops Jozef Gabcik and Jan Kubis who assassinated Nazi Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia and the third most powerful man in the Third Reich, in Prague in 1942.
