In the German Cemetery at La Cambe
In the German Military Cemetery at La Cambe, Normandy. This is the largest German war cemetery in Normandy and contains the graves of more than 21,000 German servicemen. Most of them died between June and August 1944 in the fighting following the D-Day landings. The ages of the dead range from 16 to 72 but as usual in these cemeteries the majority were young men.
The sign at the entrance says: “With its melancholy rigour, it is a graveyard for soldiers not all of whom had chosen either the cause or the fight. They too have found rest in our soil of France.”
