Why would this women be crying in misery if she is a Sudeten German? If you look at the whole picture - there are two other women - they do not look at all unhappy. Do you think perhaps she is crying for joy? The entire picture is available at wikimedia commons.

Maybe her clothes give a clue?

The area where this picture was taken were 99% pro-Nazi. I doubt this was a cry of misery.

Whatever the truth is. This pic can be used by both belligerents.

She looks like a gypsy, and Hitler hated gypsies so saluting to the Nazi Party would make one miserable
