How could you kill children? No matter what your mental state or how pissed off you are..a child is crying and the mother begging for mercy. Child is panicking and you still put a bullet through their head? I would not be able to sleep, I would proably die from the guilt.
The photo was taken near city of Metgethen by Germans. That is one of two most controversial acts that were used by Nazi and Western prop (during Cold War) to condemn Soviets.
If you want to know why it’s controversial, you need to read linked sources, cause the same event in wiki, but in different languages, has its own twist and sometimes they even contradict each other ("wiki standards", lol)

As always, a photo with a lot of history behind it, and OP doesn’t even bother to give some info/context
The photo is named "Nahaufnahme von den beiden Frauen und den drei Kindern". The photo is stored in Library of Congress (http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/95506879/resource/)
