Ankra12, it is a special place. My great grandfather is buried here.He was identified and has his own cross. The bone house for the unknown soldiers....I view into hell..

I was here in 2004 and this is really a special place. Going into the church with all the remaining bones in the cellar is incredable. This made a huge impression on me.
Greetings from Norway!

We did not stay there for long
In the daytime its very moveing at night time its a differant kettle of fish

If you read some books about WOI you will find that the battle of Verdun was a disaster, slaugter en a genuine hell for the soldiers due to strategic errors. I first did not know what the building should resemble, but I was told later the it is a sword in the ground giving the message "till here and no futher". You will the books about Verdun's battle very interesting !
