Nichts ist selbstverständlich!
Wir müssen auf unseren Frieden aufpassen.

  1. Very well written – and soldiers are ordinary people like everyone else and just tools in the hands of political rulers and these rulers diverse motives which far mostly are selfish motives… :-/

    Wars are not the solution to a problem but part of the problem… :-/

    • Thank you, Drake. You’re right and I’m glad that you say that.
      There is no justification for the death of so many people.
      Thank you for visiting my blog 🙂

  2. Agree!! Peace cannot be taken for granted. Peace to the souls of the soldiers as any war is sad and bad.

  6. I love this post. It has so much to say to us. In Finland we have well-kept memorials nearly everywhere in the smallest village. They are situated nearby churches. They are well kept and the best is that there is a statue also which is in many cases „heart touching“. If You do not mind, I give here the link to my post:

    Memorials.

    Happy weekend!

    • Hello Sartenda,
      thank you for visiting my blog and commenting this post.
      Yes, it shows a great heart and responsibility not to forget what happened. In Germany it’s like in Finland, the most memorials are situated nearby churches.
      This cemetery is not only nearby a church, it’s part of a very big park – the „Rüstringer Stadtpark“, Wilhelmshaven.
      Have a nice weekend too,
      Ulli
