I remember seeing a picture of a beautiful french girl, very blond with light skin, holding her equally beautiful but dead sister in her arms. The caption below the photo read "French farm girl killed by strafing P-47". Very tragic.
I think I saw the picture in one of Stephen Ambrose's books, maybe Citizen Soldier.

Very light skin eh? I wonder if she were a darkie, would you still remember?

People usually are the most touched when what they consider the most beautiful things are destroyed. Thus it's less likely to see a statement like "I remember seeing an ugly old french man holding his equally homely but dead brother in his arms." Yet that statement is just as tragic.
It will be sad if perceptions of political correctness ever deprive us of the power and information of detailed description.

I am just describing what I saw. The picture was not of a black woman, nor of an old and ugly frenchman. It was of two teenage french girls, one of whom had been killed by a P-47 strafing.

You're right, the Germans were far more conscienscious.

It's never a good idea to live in an occupied war zone.

She was a "Target of opportunity" happened all the time during the war.

Sheesh guys, take some distance to the events. The men who fought there wanted to forget and the latest generation wants to dig everything up again and start accusing about almost century old wrongdoings..... Wonder how the wars were started again?
