Background photograph displays the face of war
in Poland -- a visible example of the carnage
which followed the Nazi invasion in 1939. The exhumed body was identified, by SS
doctors, as Fritz Radler, a minority German. However, it is more likely that of
a Polish civilian murdered by the Einsatzgruppen. In any case the Nazis
frequently used mangled corpses as tools of propaganda. Polish Acts of
