I feel like even a coverup would have taken more effort, such a low proportion of soviet bullets to me says that they were likely just doing a regular massacre and a couple guys were using soviet weapons, presumably to replace lost or broken ones
Because it wasn’t designed to be blamed on the Soviets. The Germans just repurposed the massacre when it was obvious they were about to lose that region of Poland, so they could blame the Soviets and drive war propaganda.
It wasn’t a bad coverup because there was no coverup, it was just a Nazi massacre that just so happened to be dug up and repurposed by Goebbels.
