Did anyone see this on C4 at the weekend? I must confess I only caught the last half or so but it dealt with rumours of German atrocities in WWI which generally been dismissed as fantasy/urban legends.
Surprisingly, however, the documentary concluded that there was in fact evidence that a soldier was crucified and that even the most outlandish claims of German atrocities (notably, the bayoneted baby) may have been based on real events.
Disappointingly there wasn't much on the C4 website but some stuff from wikipedia here:
