Off with the socks"?

Hard to say exactly what's happening right there at that moment.

[SA M1Dom]

I believe this man would have met with a firing squad. Or quicker.

[Bill Hollinger]

Yes, he would have been shot. Either by firing squad or a zealous soldier

[SA M1Dom]

Reminds me of a cut scene from the Big Red One. The sergeant makes a suspected infiltrator drop his trousers. When he finds him to have draws on with no slit in the front he shoots him.

No different to Hitlers WWII directive to shoot off hand without trial any British Commando captured and they were wearing the correct uniform......

Thank God for the fact that the Wermacht by and large ignored this one out of respect to the Commandos.
