Five days later a German officer told them they were to be employed on military works , in Northern France , and asked the non - commissioned officers if they consented to go . When they protested he called a detachment of German soldiers and ordered them to beat the Russian non - commissioned officers with the butts of their rifles . The German soldiers did so for an hour and a half , until all the 60 men had become almost compact mass of bloody flesh ..
