They had probably fallen under the rain of bullets from the machine gun which had passed through the town preceding the invasion.
Some soldiers were seated a little beyond them, with their backs to the victims, as though ignoring their presence.

The chauffeur yelled to them to clear the track; with their guns and feet they pushed aside the bodies still warm, at every turn leaving a trail of blood.

The space was hardly opened before the vehicle shot through.
