Two RAF airmen are buried with full military honors by occupying German soldiers, Channel Islands, 1943
Article taken from a site: Real historical photo...
"Full military honors were granted by the Luftwaffe at the funerals of R.A.F Sergeants Butlin and Holden who were shot down over Jersey, Channel Islands.
