Good old Faldage taught me something about this very recently. In addition to killing every tenth man,
all those not executed where shipped in small groups to other units, where they were also punished by
loss of seniority, and thus put in front line where they were llikely to be killed.
So the whole unit was abolished, so that decimation meant total destruction of that unit.Thanks,Faldage
