An American soldier decorates the grave of an unknown U.S. soldier, who was buried by the enemy before retreating
A grave of an American soldier buried by retreated Germans from what I presume was out of respect, I think it says "Unknown American" on the grave
Wounded German soldiers being ferried to an aid post on the hull of a Cromwell tank of 2nd Welsh Guards, 3 September 1944. They were captured after the Guards shot up a German convoy that blundered into their path, 20km from Brussels.
Similar to the American grave above, I assume a British soldier fell in battle and the Germans buried him out of respect I dont speak German but I think it says "Unknown English Soldier"
"Colourised Photo" An American soldier/medic treating the wounds of a German soldier in France 1944, the German soldier looks really young and frightened, fortunately he was lucky to come across some nice enemies.

I remember a story from a british pilot who was buried with full honours by a Luftwaffe Geschwader during the battle of Britain but I need to do some research first if I am correct about that ^^

The crosses on the graves read exactly what you assumed them to do.

I read one that was similar but the opposite during the battle of Britain (German pilot with full honors by the RAF)

On a side note when I do look for stories like these its always on the Western front that I find the majority of these stories its alot harder to find ones that happened in the Eastern front or the Pacific

Some of these stories that have no proof (pictures, videos etc.) could be fake but many are also real and finding out about these men doesnt matter who they fought for is always a very fun interesting read about them and what they did, cause you have to remember that helping the enemy is always pretty risky to pull off.

You should ask my Grandpa about that on Eastern Front. The Russians weren't as evil as people said they would be

Thats not what Im saying its that when I was finding stories like these theyre much more common on the Western Front and I guess Africa Front than any of the other Fronts
