English term or phrase: To meet over
"Meeting over the corpse of France". Non riesco a trovare da questa parte questo "To meet over". Questo il periodo completo: "[...] Italian Catholic bishops blessed the flight of the Fascist vulture and hundreds of Christian bells pealed cheer in Munich, June '18, 1940, to the Fuhrer and the Duce, meeting over the corpse of the France".
Grazie!

to meet over
riuniti sul cadavere della Francia
