Obituary of Aachen

ftg

This is the obituary of the western german city of Aachen after the fatal bombing by the RAF on the night of April 11th/12th 1944. Entire families are among the victims. As usual no accusations here, just to see the aftermath of a heavy bombing raid from this side of view. The text under the names sais: "The german people honors the remembrance of these german men, women and children who gave their lives for the glory and the future of our fatherland. Cologne, may 1944. Grohe, Gauleiter (head of western german nazi district)."
