Normandy 4

Onward

The beach

The bunker


The barricades

The museum for the German fallen.

Cemetery crosses from early years. The current memorial gardens were not made until years later.

The crosses…row on row. This is the German cemetery. 

Eighteen years old. What a waste. 

Sometimes two soldiers were buried together, one identified, and the other unknown, or only a family name. 

These two are still remembered by someone.

One known, one unknown. Heartbreaking. 

But they are honored.

To be continued… in a different place.
