Champigny St. André German War Cemetery, German military cemetery in Champigny-la-Futelaye, France.

The cemetery contains 19,809 individual graves and a mass grave holding 816 German soldiers who lost their lives during World War II.

This burial ground was established in August 1944 during the Allied advance toward Paris, initially containing both American and German casualties.

The limestone headstones display names, ranks, birth dates, and death dates of two servicemen side by side, following German military cemetery traditions.

The cemetery lies 3 kilometers south of Saint-André-de-l'Eure, between Ferrières and Champigny-la-Futelaye, with a central path leading to a 16-meter steel cross.

The memorial courtyard features columns listing the various regions from which German casualties were transferred, including Paris and surrounding departments.
