This is a brilliantly clever reveal. Neathery is a genius. In panel 3, it’s a view of a view of a resistance fighter putting up a defiant defence to the last. In panel 4, it’s a poor figure on his knees, having bee shot in the back. His face in panel 3 is grim determination. Then seeing what we see in 4, we go back and look at his face again, and it’s dumb agony and death. And Piotr’s words are a blend of propaganda, resignation and disgust.
