Thank you so much visiting this week. Your video put me right at the right spot and you have a beautiful town.

Thanks for “walking the ground” and producing this video.

How do you know they were not bad? How do you know that not any of these Germans were not doing any killing in the death camps? You say 40,000 of them are buried there? That's a lotta crosses as far as the eyes can see, now just imagine over 6 million Jews crosses if they were given a proper burial somewhere. There is no such thing as a good German during world war 2.

Indeed sad and so sobering..... the face of evil

O the horror of war & the stupidity of politicians who didn’t stop them!!

Deze mensen hebben hun leven gegeven bedankt zeg je snel maar het woord is te klijn ik ben normandie op omaha kerkhof geweest niet te begrijpen, emoties komen gelijk na boven ik heb de nijland broeders graf gezien ,waar de film riyan op gebaseerd is ik de kruisen gewassen, en gezegt jullie moeten schoon zijn het vieze water is er nu af de kruizen werden gelijk schoon heel mooi, en de emoties kwamen na boven de engelen van de vrijheid liggen hier, op alle graven liggen de engelen van vrijheid 😢❤

And now they put pictures of the soldiers who are buried there, received from their families. To give the soldier a face.

And every one a wasted life. When will we ever learn that there are no winners in war only losers.

The contrast with the white allied crosses is stunning.

This is wonderful thank you

Not all fallen soldiers deserve respect. Many of these Nazi soldiers also fought on the eastern front where they were responsible for massive war crimes. Massive. Rape, murder, torture, starvation, burning of food, supplies, burning of villages along with every man, woman and child. These Nazis were not Boy Scouts.

Bijzonder ontroerend verhaal

De broer van mijn Duitse grootmoeder is hier in Lommel begraven hij is in België gesneuveld ik ben de enige die zijn graf bezocht heeft vergeten kan soms heel ver gaan nochtans van Obern Tudorf naar Lommel is nieteens zo ver.

Sadly this is the result of wars, so many young soldiers died as a result of an evil regime in Germany. As all war cemeteries looks peaceful.

Ik woon twee straten verderop waar dat standbeeld staat. Er is ook een docu op yt wat “het was maar een mof” heet en dat gaat over hem, ik heb t al een keer of drie gezien

Helden

Thank you very much شكرا

This one is bigger en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuville-St_Vaast_German_war_cemetery

heel mooi gedaan , het waren ook mensen die geen oorlog wilde

Interesting journey !

Impressing I have also been there

When my mum came to Italy - she was very ill and had little time left to live - to see her sister a stay with me her only son, she asked me to take her to the war cemetery in Anzio. When we arrived at the US cemetery she knelt down and prayed and said “never forget the sacrifice of these young boys for the liberation of Europe “. Then she asked me to take her to the German cemetery and I asked why, they were the enemy. Mum replied “because those young boys had mothers waiting for their return and they also died doing their duty”

Well, in retrospect I feel sorry for all these lost lives but I keep in mind d that my father’s best friend 18 years old was executed in the hills of Marseille because he carried messages for the local resistance just before the war ended. My grand father and my father went to recognize the body and had to tell his mother about his fate. His mother went crazy. Not all Germans were nice.

Memorial to the f*ing stupidity of war. No one ever wins a war, but one side suffers unsustainable losses. It’s time to get on with DISARMAMENT talks, not rearming, not 2.5% GDP on arms. How many more cemeteries do these warmongering heads of state want?

Sets of brothers. How horrible for their families. As for the missing it makes you wonder where they could be.

Dead just a few days after turning 18.

Interesting how the Germans were buried in pairs adjacent to each other. Saves on headstones I suppose. German war cemeteries from WW1 have an occasional Star of David on a headstone. None in WWII cemeteries, though. No flags flying, as we’d ask what flag would be flown.

An interesting perspective.

why are there no comments?

I have a friend from Thüringen in Germany whose grandmother lost 8 brothers at the Russian front during WW2.

My Uncle, Thomas P Gogal is buried here. I was blessed to be able to visit his grave and meet the family that has been caring for his grave for 70 plus years. It is a beautiful place, something I wish all Americans were aware of and could see.

THE BEST ❤❤❤

Anyone here play final fantasy 8?

That’s very cool. Thank you.

Awesome

So cool😊

Many didnt want to go to war

These cemeteries do not have the millions of German soldiers murdered after WW2. Eisenhower buried them using lime in the Belgian borders, where research is vorbiden until today.

Danke.

wtf , what a sad story ... all these facts must be brought to light, not all people are bad

Great hat

Brawo

Where is this?

My extended family lost 10 men in ww1, 5 I have found and paid my respects where the lay buried or are remembered . 3 of them brothers, paternal cousins to my paternal grandfather . My great grandfather a Boer and ww1 war veteran was injured at 3rd Ypres and made it home . I have been all over Belgium and northern France in 21 visits since 2005 going again this August . have paid respects in the German war cemetery's, all somebody's son, dad , n uncle, grandson, not all bad . "Remember the Germans" Harry Patch the last fighting Tommy of ww1 .

Respect and Salute to these soldiers

In 2017, after months of making connections, I was able to visit the grave of Egon Mayer, the German Ace fighter pilot, who had shot down my father's B-17 on November 23, 1942, off the coast of France..The German cemetery was near Saint-Desir-de-Lisieux in Normandy, and was well-kept. At least he had a grave whereas the remains of my father and his crew rest in the waters off Brest. In honor of all those young men, German and American, I placed flowers on Mayer's grave. Earlier I had a reconciliation with his relatives on behalf of both our families.

So cool😊
