Rats! The page opens for me, but only the top banner. No images load. Anywho, I was there May 31, this year. Awesome place to be.

I love that in Europe they dont tear down old buildings like we do here. Awesome find!

An America Cemetery in 1944 would have been an open field most likely. Not the sort of thing you are going to find a 1944 photograph to match up to.

Not a must have at all.
