    I'm a US Army Veteran, and thank you for making this video. No matter what country, a fallen brother is my brother.

    Thank you for this video, I think everyone should see it. Especially the people that send our young people off to die for their insolent reasons for war.

    Another amazing place. We should see those bones if we want to they are all part of the whole history X Well worth climbing to the top however long it takes us to get up there to show some respect, they did a lot more for us all than that X Thank you for sharing X

      Hi jennifer. Yes i agree with viewing those poor soldiers, but i didn't want to suddenly startle viewers, just in case. The french have deliberately put those windows in this stunning building, as a reminder of what once were enemies, but now as comrades. ❤. Thanks for watching and commenting

    It makes the single greatest anti war statement in the world all those bones mixed together both French and German. It stunned me in my tracks!

    The Ossuary was / is built over the remains? I thought it was a large building built on clean - no remains, no UXOs or live but buried ammo - site. And when remains were and are found they are brought to the Ossuary. Thank you for the tour. Wasn't too informed about the Muslims being involved there too.

      Hi J. Lietka. The ossuary was build and then the remains would have been placed beneath the building afterwards. If you get the chance to visit the building then it is more stunning than the video really shows. Thanks for watching and commenting.
