When I visited Normandy a few years ago, I visited the American cemetery.

I did not know until I saw it, but there is a very impressive cemetery nearby for the German soldiers who fell, still very well maintained, though I suspect it doesn’t get many visitors.

I recall an article about the Estonians wanting to exhume remains of Soviet soldiers and ship them back to Russia. While that might not be in play here (yet) that sentiment could arise. I’m opposed to that out of respect for the dead and I believe for the most part soldiers, regardless of who they fight for, don’t really have much choice about where they fight and where they die.
