Hollywood played a huge role in having us stereotype the German soldier as jack-booted cold-blooded killers, when most were not members of the Nazi Party, but were obligated to defend the Fatherland. Many had family in the U.S. and had no ill feelings against Americans or the British. Some risked their lives trying to turn the people of Germany against Hitler. Like the German soldiers that were part of the White Rose.

Nope. We that lived under German nazi yoke believe that only good German soldier is the one we killed, took off his boots and rifle and left covered in leafs on a side on the road.

Thank you very much.

However, on the topic of German military and other cemeteries abroad, which have been mentioned, they are nowadays provided for by the VDG, a private organization.

Very sorry, but what color is the sky where you are?
