Sissonne German Military Cemetery
Also known as Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof 1914-18 Sissonne , Sissonne Cimetière Militaire Allemand
Sissonne, Departement de l'Aisne, Picardie, France
Directions from Sissonne via the Rue de Laon. At the "T" junction opposite the French 1914-1918 War Memorial, turn left (D18 in the direction of Lappion) along the Rue de Verdun, which after a short distance becomes the Aveue de 11 Novembre 1918, passing the first CWGC direction sign on the left. Continue along the D18 until you arrive at the Cemetery on your right after a total journey of about 20 kilometres.
On this field 15,000 dead German soldiers are resting in peace, most of them in individual graves with a metal cross for four each. But there are also some mass-graves. Scattered among the huge amount of black metal crosses are some white head-stones with the star of David for the German Jewish soldiers. The crosses had to be black as a sign of defeat and disgrace. Next to the German cemetery - carefully divided from it with strong hedges!
