A military punishment found in armies was known as "running the gauntlet". The condemned
soldier was stripped to the waist and had to pass between a double row of cudgeling
or switching comrades (hence, also known as "die Gasse - the alley"), while stopped
from running by the blade of a NCO walking in front of him. Various rules might apply,

allowing the soldier to attempt to protect his head with his hands. The punishment
was not necessarily continued until death
