I would wager that they were POW's in a Nazi camp, prior to the D-Day invasion.
Just the way they died is obvious they were executed en masse, which says automatic weapons. The earliest use of autos in France was WWI, but I don't think the Germans made it past Paris, thus a WWII camp.
In which case, it's understandable something like this would happen. In a situation like that, any differences would be the acme of trivial.
