Again, there was nothing wrong with the story. As usual it was very well written. As for keeping it hidden till after the war. That will be very hard. Special units under the propoganda minister scoured the country sides looking for things like this historically. They liked to try to find other people doing it ( and not reporting themselves killing whole polish units ). There are accounts of them digging up whole cemetaries to check in Belgium. Bog's and River bottoms are the best places to bury the dead that you don't want found for awhile. Question, Is this the only incident? I doubt it was. Flags will definitely start going up when pilots ( some who's crew would have been left behind ) are not reported to the red cross. A German Coronel who got shot down during the battle of France, while observing, commented that at the prison camp he was at the pilots and the crew were segregated. He was put in with the crews. Just before the French surrendered the pilots were rounded up and taken away in two trucks, apparently lack of gas and trucks in the north prevented them all from being taken. Several hours later the camp was deserted by the french and the crews wondered what was going on. An hour later the camp was "liberated" by german troops. The crews identified what pilots were taken but they were returned in a few weeks. In this case the germans know all those pilots that were taken. By the Geneva convention the Red cross will request and later demand a chain of custody of those prisoners. Things will slowly be found out. If areas are suspected the Gestopo will have fun sitting on them till someone cracks. If there is even the smallest hint ( remember your dealing with people who did there best to hide there attrocities in Poland and that was organized ) they will be investigated.

Later.
