What REALLY Happened To The German Dead? | Normandy | WW2

In this video I show you How two notorious Germans met their end in Normandy and what happened to the German soldiers who died during the battle for Normandy. What REALLY Happened To The German War Dead? | Normandy | WW2 In the summer of 1944, more than 100,000 people died during the fighting that followed the Allied landings in Normandy. At least 14,000 French civilians lost their lives. Even as the fighting in Normandy continued, the American Recovery and Identification Service already laid out two large cemeteries with both their own and German fallen, near the small village of La Cambe. After 1945, the American forces transferred their dead to the cemetery of St. Laurent-sur-Mer, 15 kilometres away. The bodies of the German soldiers were exhumed there and buried in La Cambe. ​In 1954, at the beginning of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge's (German War Graves Commission) reburial work, La Cambe cemetery was already one of the largest provisional German military cemeteries of the Second World War in France, with about 8,000 dead. Subsequently, the remains of 12,000 German soldiers from 1,400 graves, as well as another 700 bodies found at scattered war sites in Normandy, were interred at La Cambe. On 21 September 1961, the La Cambe War Cemetery was officially inaugurated. __________________________________________ #tactical #guns #military #history #army #soldier #ww2 #germany #usa #history #hellletloose #veteran If you'd like to support this channel and gain access to exclusive content and perks, why not consider becoming a Patreon support?
