Visit the German cemetaries as well---very somber as the stones are black and the place was not as well kept as ours is---since I was there for the 40th and 50th Anniversary it may be different now---as a vet of the Normandy Invasion, I found it to be an excellent reminder that all involved lost their sons,husbands, brothers and fathers during the war no matter which side they were on.
That's exactly right! What people tend to forget (because of WWII) is that those Germans were not Nazis and were fighting for their own country (misled as it was by the Kaiser), same as our doughboys!
