What part of their country do you think they where fighting for?
They certainly didn't fight for the freedom loving, peaceful or humane part.
The allies fought for those parts of Germany, not the German army.
The men entombed in U864 fought for much less desirable aspects of Germany. That
makes them human and does not lessen the tragedy of their death, but it does not
bring them any honor, glory or righteousness. |
It still makes them soldiers and as such they deserve a burrial with soldiers honours.
