Marigny German War Cemetery, War cemetery in Thèreval, France
The Marigny German War Cemetery spans across five blocks of graves with ceramic plaques displaying names, ranks, and dates of each fallen soldier.
The United States Army established this cemetery in 1944, initially containing both American and German soldiers before Americans were relocated to Saint Laurent-sur-Mer.
German school children participate in summer programs to maintain the graves and attend memorial ceremonies, fostering understanding between generations and nations.
The German War Graves Commission maintains this cemetery through donations and voluntary contributions, ensuring proper care for over 11,000 graves.
The cemetery contains remains of soldiers from the Panzer-Lehr Division, which suffered extensive losses during the Allied bombardment near Saint-Lô in July 1944.
