Visiting Europe its easy to forget the past
 

While driving around The Netherlands its easy to forget what happened there almost 60 years ago, but driving to a farm to see a horse I drove by this and after seeing what was written on the last grave I had to take some pics of it.
Lot fo respect to those who fought in WWII

It gives me shivers looking at those pictures. Thanks for posting.

same here, especially when I saw the unknown grave.

I spoke to a German last weekend who was fighting in WWII. He was 18 at the time and ended up as a POW in Normadie, escaped twice.
I could've listened to the mans stories all night. Quite amazing to hear what they went through.

You were up north right? Friesland boppe!

When ever i visit family back home in Europe its hard to drive 5-10 miles through any city, even small cities without seeing a military graveyard.

But i have families in the countries that had the most casualties during the two Great wars, dont know how it is in other European countries.

i think i've been there before

Yes, I was up in Friesland...Its where the Friesian horse is from :)
