cowardice in the presence of the enemy has been (as far as i know) punished by the means of a firing-squad not only on the Reich, but also during WW1, not only by the central powers, but also by the Allies (during both World Wars).

Also, I've heard of Argentine soldiers being shot for showing cowardice during the Falklands War. My point being... Cowardice equals firing-squad in military history... since EVER... and probably... today too.
