    We often talk about war in terms of victories or defeats. But it's the traces it leaves that matter most.
    In Recogne, near Bastogne, a discreet cemetery houses the bodies of more than 6,800 German soldiers who fell during the Second World War. Young men, sometimes very young.

      War is not just about battles, battlefields, winners or losers. It is also about mourning, memories, reconstruction and commemoration. In the hamlet of Recogne, near Bastogne in Belgium, a German cemetery contains the remains of more than 6,800 German soldiers aged 17 to 52 who died during the Second World War.
