Having a knowledgeable gm for a historical campaign is awesome. For our Weird Wars campaign that starts tomorrow, my resistance fighter character was stationed in this actual church near the Normandy beach. And because he sent me a Google Earth link, now I know that La Cambe is now the site of A German military cemetery. 21,000 German dead rest there. The sign at the cemetery reads :

Until 1947, this was an American cemetery. The remains were exhumed and shipped to the United States. It has been German since 1948, and contains over 21,000 graves. With its melancholy rigour, it is a graveyard for soldiers not all of whom had chosen either the cause or the fight. They too have found rest in our soil of France.
