FURS VATERLAND GEFALLEN:
DIED FOR ONES COUNTRY

A million German soldiers are being reburied
more than 60 years after the fall of Nazi
Germany.
So far, half a million skeletons have been exhumed from mass graves, old trenches, and unmarked graves to be reburied in German war cemeteries. Work is continuing to account for all fallen German soldiers.

What should be said about the soldiers of
Hitler's Third Reich. Their cause wasn't
honorable, did those men die fighting for Germany, or did they die from the ideologies of their leaders.
The soldier was an NCO, by the white lace around his collar, looks like he took a few rounds or was killed by shrapnel, with a wound just behind his ear and others to the lower part of his body.

May we never forget the thousands of German, Ukrainian, Finish, Spanish, Yugoslavian, Russian, and etc. who fought against the communist state that at a time seemed to be finally pushed back and out of the many countries it held a iron hand over. Sadly thousands would die and Stalin would regain control of these countries and gain new ones which he would make sure never fought him again.

R.I.P. brave men who served for their families, country, and way of life.

GEFALLEN:

Did you know that Germany maintains its military cemeteries for WWII dead in the Normandy area,
remains are still being discovered decades later
many of these soldiers were buried in unmarked graves in isolated locations where they fell.

PITY OF WAR:

During the Normandy Invasion on June 6,1944 over
100,000 people died, both Allied, German, French
Civilians and Soldiers of other Nationalities. Today there cemeteries for Axis troops located in Russia, Balkins and Western Europe. Following the Cold War former Eastern Bloc nations assisted Germany in searching for the remains of its fallen soldiers. Hundreds of thousands have yet to be identified millions were killed and listed as missing in action.
The search continues for all the fallen of WWII besides the WWII cemeteries, there are also WWI cemeteries being maintained in Europe and other locations.

Politicians Speak Of Honor And Duty, But It's The Brave Who Die The Soldiers...
