  1. I visited this place many years ago with a friend whose surname was the same as a fallen German soldier in ww2, born on her mother's birthday and died in 1944, ironically that surname is the same in German as in English and not seen as typically German. She said it was terribly sad to think that a German man who died around the date of the D-Day landings would have been fighting an English man on D-Day with the same surname and possibly linked by blood. My own great uncle landed on D-Day as a Royal Marine Commando, to fight nazis, 80 years ago, yet today our government is supporting, financing, and supplying, and lauding a nazi regime in Ukraine who have been murdering ethnic-Russian citizens of Ukraine men, women, children, since 2014, leading to a situation from 2022 which could escalate until the whole world is threatened. Russia did not start this, the west escalates it more and more. So in 100 years we have not learned one lesson from the useless sacrifice of life, these graveyards are a stark reminder of what happens when politicians go too far. If this goes too far this time there will be no graveyards, all life will cease to exist.
