More than 58,200 soldiers are buried in the German cemeteries at La Cambe, Marigny, Orglandes and Saint-Désir-de-Lisieux, or in the Mont-d’Huisnes Ossuary (not counting the 19,800 bodies buried in the cemetery of Saint-André, in the Eure department).
There are also nearly 2,300 German graves in British cemeteries.
The German cemeteries are remarkable for their vast expanses of lawn planted with trees and dotted with dark crosses or slabs beneath which the bodies are buried, generally in twos.
The cemeteries are maintained by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge, an association founded after World War I.
