RAF bomber pilot and crew killed

Now I know this is bizarre, but this is the bomber, shot down by a German fighter ace over the Netherlands, which had been flown by my Uncle Peter in the second world war when he was a Flying Officer in the RAF. I came across this by a random online search some years ago. Note the Nazi soldier guarding the wreckage. Unfortunately, Uncle Peter and the crew were all killed. Many years later I visited his war grave in Holland.
I find this a little unsettling.
