Recogne German war cemetery, War cemetery in Bastogne, Belgium.
The Recogne German War Cemetery contains 6,807 graves of German soldiers arranged in uniform rows with white crosses against green grounds.
Initially established for both German and American casualties after the Battle of the Bulge, American remains were transferred to Henri-Chapelle Cemetery in 1947.
The cemetery serves as a memorial site where annual ceremonies honor fallen soldiers and educate visitors about the consequences of World War II.
Located north of Bastogne along N30 toward Houffalize, visitors can reach the cemetery by turning left at Foy and following signs.
The soldiers buried at Recogne German War Cemetery were between 17 and 52 years old, with half losing their lives during the Ardennes Offensive.
