We stopped at a military war grave cemetery that was located in Saint-Germain-du-Perth, France. The WWII cemetery was established for the German soldiers killed during the war.  The cemetery called “La Cambe Military Cemetery” contains in excess of 21,000 German soldiers.

The cemetery was fairly modest in appearance and subdued. We entered through an arched gate into a cemetery with rows of flat headstones. There was a row of five stone crosses spaced in between the rows of headstones.

At the center of the cemetery, there was a circular mound with a monument at the top.

We walked to the central monument and went up the stair to the top.

From the top of the monument, we could see the entire cemetery.

It was a somber experience walking through the cemetery.
