Back to Caen and Arromanches-Part 1

On the way back from Cherbourg in the direction of Bayeux and Caen, I recommend a stop at the German Cemetery at La Cambe.  Look for the sign on Route 13 directing you to the Cemetery.  There are 21,222 WW II German soldiers buried in the Cemetery.  When I visited the Cemetery several years ago, a unit of soldiers from the modern German Army was performing maintenance work for their fellow citizens.  I am including pictures of the cemetery for your consideration.

WW II saw significant casualties on both sides.  These soldiers also had parents, brothers, sisters, wives, and small children.
