Site 8: German cemetery of La Cambe. Landscaped and maintained by the Association of German families, the La Cambe is the largest German military cemetery in Normandy. 21,400 German soldiers are buried there. In the center, a mound six feet high, topped by a granite cross, is the common grave of 296 fighters. With its dark and simple cross placed on the lawn indicating the graves of soldiers square plates, the site offers a striking contrast with the cemetery Allies. The Peace Garden is a plantation of 1,220 maples, live as peace between nations symbols.
