Ysselstein. the place of the war cemetery for the German army.
Thousands of German soldiers are buried here, who died in the first and second world war on Dutch soil.
Allthough there is some controverse because of SS men also buried there the general feeling is one of respect.
A lot of people dont see the majority of the soldiers as criminals but rather as men forced to fight for a lost cause or evil empire.
