Remagen, anyone been there? - Page 3

Yes sir. The Cemetery is at Bad Bodendorf a few miles from Remagen. I believe it was off of the B266 Road, to the west of town, right before you enter the town limits proper. Take the B266 heading east and look to your left. You will have to get off the highway and onto a small access road to get to the cemetery. It's wide open in that area and easy to find.

No alledgedly about it Lee.
It is where they were buried.
They were caged up where the campsite is now.

Terrible conditions prevailed the camps. Drinking water and food rations were lacking. Only few of the inmates had coats or shelter. It was a damp, cold spring with lots of rain. To protect themselves from the weather, prisoners dug holes in the ground. Lack of hygiene caused the spread of deseases such as dysentery. The 62nd US Field Hospital, 120 German military doctors, and 750 paramedics tried to fight diseases.
