het zou geen gezicht zijn geweest

Dutch term or phrase: het zou geen gezicht zijn geweest
Ik heb mij altijd afgevraagd waarom niet alle soldaten, ook de Duitse, dat hebben gedaan. Ik weet het, het zou geen gezicht zijn geweest, maar dan waren al die miljoenen doden niet gevallen.

Là non plus, je n'arrive pas à tourner la phrase correctement. Merci d'avance pour votre aide
