To discourage others from being cowards or deserting.
About 150,000 soldiers deserted from the German Army, many of them fled to neutral countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland. Only 18 from those caught were executed. In WW2 10,000 deserters were shot.
During World War I, soldiers were sometimes shot for cowardice as a means of maintaining discipline and order in the ranks. Military leaders viewed acts of cowardice or desertion as threats to morale and the effectiveness of the fighting force. The harsh penalties, including execution, were intended to deter others from similar behavior, reflecting the intense pressures and expectations placed on soldiers during the war. Many of these cases have since been re-evaluated, with a greater understanding of the psychological impacts of war.

Deserters would be court martialled. The trial usually ended with them being sentenced to be shot at dawn by a 12 man firing squad. In WW2 the only offence for which you could be put to death was mutiny, whereas there were several more in WW1 including cowardice, and striking a superior officer.
