I have a question about the section I bolded and underlined above. Did he mention whose responsibility it was for the victim's head to be down? I have brought that up before that height wouldn't matter had he just ducked his head (and that the other SS agents shouldn't have ducked their heads as they did. The wrong people were doing the head ducking IMO! Was it their responsibility to put a hand on his head and hold it down, or to tell him "Head DOWN, Sir!!!"?
And now that I'm looking at the picture again, the one closest to his right (our left) looks like he's praying he doesn't get hit. The woman looks like she's looking down so as not to trip on anything, or perhaps turned to listen to what the guy with his hand on her back is saying to her/them.
With all that said, he really needed to duck his head, and since he didn't, I wonder who that's on? SS because it was protocol (IF it was their protocol, hence me asking above if that's part of what they were trained to do), or Trump because he wouldn't duck his own head?
