Na telo ubijenog protivnika simbolično je bačena njegova u znak poraza slomljena puška.

Operation "Daredevil". Distrustful like feral kittens, little residents of Gornja Ržanica observe the German photographer, keeping away, just in case, from the odd stranger (the photo was taken by Second Lieutenant Ernst A. Zwilling of Air Force War Correspondent Battalion South-East, a man of rather repulsive appearance – pointy-faced with small eyes and a Roman nose – who accompanied the German-Albanian troops during the new anti-partisan operation, named "Daredevil"; the operation ended with the massacre of 428 inhabitants of the nearby village of Velika).

Operacija "Drznik". Nepoverljivi poput divljih mačića, mali stanovnici Gornje Ržanice posmatraju nemačkog fotografa, držeći se, za svaki slučaj, podalje od neobičnog stranca (autor ove fotografije je potporučnik Ernst A. Cviling iz Vazduhoplovnog ratnodopisničkog bataljona Jugoistok, čovek prilično odbojne spoljašnosti – špicastog lica, sitnih očiju i orlovskog nosa – koji je pratio nemačko-albanske trupe u novoj protivustaničkoj operaciji, nazvanoj "Drznik"; operacija je završena pokoljem 428 stanovnika obližnjeg sela Velike).
