The German War Cemetery near Cassino is another poignant reminder of the loss of war. Young men who died in the battles in the Spring of 1944 have eternal rest as the Monte Cassino oversees it.
Rows and rows of graves often with three to a grave is a reminder of the sacrifice of war. Adolph and I visited this cemetery during our stay in August 1991. When viewing the ages of the soldiers, it hard to picture them the enemy now. As with all European war cemeteries, it is immaculate. And quiet! It seems the solemn mood reinforces the loss of life on both sides of the conflict. German tourists often make a stop in this area to honour their ancestors. Have you visited a war cemetery? The ages of the young men is very moving! Such a reminder that a life was stopped before it had a real chance to keep going. Deutschner Soldaten-German soldiers-are remembered here.
