A mass burial is always poignant.
However...in this instance it was cynically staged-managed by the Nazis by way of a propaganda exercise to whip up hatred against the Allied "Terrorfliegers."
Munich, 1944.
During the ceremony the crowd was addressed by leading Nazis who seemed to conveniently forget that it was their Luftwaffe which had started the aerial warfare ball rolling when they blitzed the cities and populations of Warsaw, London, Coventry, Stalingrad. Leningrad, Rotterdam....
As Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris said, " They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
(LIFE / Hugo Jaeger)

Battle of Bzura, September 1939. Polish counter-attack that made initial gains but was thrown back, ending in defeat. Poland was counting on a French invasion of western Germany, as the French had promised. The superbly-equipped French army invaded 8km then stopped, instead of striking deep into virtually defenceless western Germany.
