In 1934 new Soviet criminal law allowed to execute children from age 12 - although few were killed during the Great Purge. During Civil War 1918-23 it was routine for both sides to execute children over 14 - they were considered adults (and for good reason - they fought like hell). As usual, the Reds killed far more than the Whites.

Thank you for your explanation, and one more point I was curious about if it was teenagers who needed to be executed, would it be possible for them to be forced to take off all their clothes.

Not after the Civil War - Soviet system did not allow that. During the Civil War it happened - but not often (it actually depended upon how valuable clothes were to Cheka or Red Army thugs).

The executed are carted away for disposal.

"To be more precise, in 1918 the carts were of metal construction. Not wood..."

Auschwitz, to be more precise - late spring or early summer of 1944 (by fall of that year it ceased operations). All other death camps - Belzec, Treblinka, Sobibor were long gone by that time, and Chelmno used gas vans (in Majdanek, victims were shot).

Looks authentic; however, gas chambers were usually packed to capacity (victims could not move - only stand).

Using the AI robots, I have many 1943-44 death camp and mass execution scenes.
I do not wish to offend our fragile viewers. AI robots have no barriers - just wow!

Next discovery - Nantes France in 1793 & 1794.
During the French Revolution, many enemies of the new government were mass executed using special barges. Up to 4000+ men women and entire families of "Partisans" were stripped naked, bound hand feet, then drowned inside the cargo holds of wooden barges (Lighters).
Once they were forced into the barges, towed far into the Lorie River, they were flooded inside. Survival was impossible!

Not just barges - they tied couples (a man and a woman) to each other - and threw in the same river (it was called "Republican wedding"). During Civil war in Russia (1918-23), the Reds - big fans of French mass murderers - used the same method (barges) to murder thousands (if not tens of thousands) "enemies of the Revolution".
