The Douamont Ossuary which was erected to receive the unidentified remains of around 130,000 French soldiers lost during the battle of Verdun. The cemetery to the front of the Ossuary contains the graves of a further 15,000 French soldiers.
Fascinating. I have about 50 pictures my dad took when he was there in the U.S. Army in 1955. The pictures are from the exact same angles as this video-it's amazing. I remember seeing them and him telling us about "An ossuary where thousands of bones from french troops in WW1 were placed". I was amazed by it and have always wanted to go, see, and show the respect it demands. Like being there. Thought that it would show the rooms off of the hallways which are filled with bones-overwhelming
