A video has been circulating on the web lately. It is taken from a PRO TV broadcast, which I believe is a Romanian broadcaster. Additionally, during the title sequence, the word "Ora" is used (as in Ora 18:00). I have posted to this forum because I felt that if it was broadcast on Romanian TV, there is a good chance it is Romanian footage.

Could be WWII and the uniform (to my eyes) is definitely not Nazi. The murder victims do not appear to be wearing Stars of David, either. Could predate WWII?

Here are a couple image captures:

Thank you very much. That is reason enough to watch the video another 1,000 times!
