Plot E

Around 94 US World War 2 Servicemen who were executed by the US Military are buried in "Plot E" of the Oise Aisne American Cemetery in France, in a section designated for "the dishonored dead." All but one of them was convicted of rape and/or murder. Hedges hide it from view, no US flag is permitted to fly over it, the graves lack headstones and it is not publicly accessible.
